Idaho Supreme Court

The Idaho Supreme Court Wednesday heavily questioned both Planned Parenthood and the state over whether it should block the implementation of multiple abortion bans set to take effect this month.

In an order late Thursday, state supreme court justices chose to take up a new lawsuit from Planned Parenthood filed earlier this week.

The U.S. Supreme Court has handed abortion decisions to states. That means state supreme courts will likely have to review what abortion rights people have under state constitutions. In the Mountain West, there are already several lawsuits about abortion laws that these state courts have to review. That includes one suit in Idaho and another in Utah, which has led to a temporary stay of that law going into effect.

In a rare decision last year, the Commission on Pardons and Parole supported a clemency request for Gerald Pizzuto Jr., who was on death row after being convicted of the 1985 murders of Berta and Del Herndon in an Idaho County cabin.

A new analysis on diversity in state supreme courts shows that many do not have a single justice identifying as a person of color. That’s the case in most of the Mountain West.

Implementation of Idaho’s Texas-style abortion ban remains on hold following an Idaho Supreme Court order Friday.

A recent Idaho Supreme Court decision further made clear that police can’t detain someone longer than what’s necessary to complete a stop, even including delays measured in seconds.

The Idaho Supreme Court Thursday unanimously denied a combined legal challenge to the state’s new legislative district voting maps that were redrawn following the 2020 census.

The future of the state's newest legislative map lies in the hands of the Idaho Supreme Court justices.

Idaho’s legislative redistricting plan is facing yet another legal challenge.
