Plan on Attending Court?

The Idaho Supreme Court and Idaho Court of Appeals hold oral argument at the Supreme Court building, located at 451 W. State St. in Boise. The Supreme Court also travels to hold court in other parts of Idaho throughout the year. All oral arguments are open to the public.

If you plan to attend a session of Idaho's appellate courts:

• Plan to arrive early to ensure time for parking and security screening as you enter the building. A Capitol Mall parking map is available on the Capitol Mall Services Website. Three-hour visitor parking spaces are located both east and west of the Supreme Court building.

• The courtroom will be open approximately 15 minutes before oral arguments. Hearings before the Supreme Court generally last one hour.

• View the Idaho Supreme Court Calendar or the Idaho Court of Appeals Calendar to find information about cases being heard. This information is also posted near the courtroom doors.

A court order prohibits bringing weapons onto Supreme Court grounds. Court orders also regulate the placement of posters, banners, signs and other displays in and around the building. For detailed information, please read the most current ISC Security Order.

When you enter the courtroom:

• Please silence all cell phones and other electronic devices.

• No cameras or recording devices allowed without advanced permission from the respective court.

• No food or beverages allowed in the courtroom.

• No backpacks are allowed in the courtroom.

• Please remove your hat upon entering the courtroom.

Failure to adhere to the Supreme Court rules or an order from a justice or judge will constitute grounds to be removed from the court proceedings.
