Nominations for the 2025 ISB Commissioner Elections Due April 1, 2025

Attorneys in the First, Second, and Fourth Districts will elect new representatives to the Idaho State Bar Board of Commissioners this spring. The new commissioners will replace Jillian Caires of Coeur d’Alene (First District), and Mary York of Boise (Fourth District).

Pursuant to Idaho Bar Commission Rule 900, the new commissioner representing the First and Second Districts must reside or maintain an office in the Second District. Commissioners of the Idaho State Bar—the elected governing body of the Bar—serve for three-year terms, beginning on the last day of the ISB Annual Meeting (held in July) following their elections. The Board of Commissioners is charged with administering the regulation of the legal profession in Idaho, which includes the testing, admission, and licensing of attorneys, overseeing disciplinary functions, and mandatory continuing legal education requirements.

Nominations must be in writing and signed by at least five (5) members of the ISB in good standing and eligible to vote in the districts. The Executive Director must receive nominations no later than the close of business on Tuesday, April 1, 2025. You can find the nominating petitions below.

Ballots will be distributed electronically to members eligible to vote in the First, Second, and Fourth Districts on Monday, April 21, 2025. All ballots properly cast will be counted by a Board of Canvassers at the close of business on Tuesday, May 6, 2025.
