With over 5,000 members, the Idaho State Bar is the mandatory legal association in Idaho. A self-governing state agency, the ISB is given power by the Idaho Supreme Court and statutory authority of the Legislature. The Idaho State Bar is responsible for legal admissions, right to practice after admission, continuing legal education, professional conduct, the client assistance fund, fee arbitration, governance, specialization, practice sections, and an annual meeting.

Idaho State Bar is not in compliance with the nationwide, public-facing, Brady List; or:

Supreme Court of the United States [SCOTUS] Brady doctrine (1963);
US Freedom of Information Act (1967);
State Sunshine Law (see, below);
Open Government Act (2007);
Open Government Initiative (2009); and,
Open Government Directives (2009) issued by the United States Department of Justice.

This information has been curated by journalists and private citizens; and, this platform is available as-a-service to all Peace Officer Standards & Training [POST] Departments, Prosecutors, and Law Enforcement Organizations [LEOrgs].

Our Priorities

Ensure enforcement discretion. The Brady List does not apply Machine Learning [ML], Artificial Intelligence [AI], or any other coded mechanism.
Empower prosecutorial disclosure. This Brady List as a platform automates the compilation of data across entire jurisdictions for prosecutors.
Enable judicial oversight. This Brady List platform is the first of its kind to serve the judiciary as a method to ensure delivery of Brady Material Disclosures.
Build trust in the community through transparency. This Brady List is now, and always will be, open to the public.
Demonstrate accountability. The Brady List encourages law enforcement, prosecutors, and the judiciary to demonstrate their entire workflow from complaint intake through categorization, investigation, and conclusion.

In order to provide this service to 20,000+ Organizations, POST Departments, and Prosecutors nationwide. We have standardized the input, date and time stamped the output, incorporated an epistemology of Brady Offenses, Public Complaints, and Use-of-Force Reports.

Idaho Public Records Act

Idaho Code §74-101 et seq.

The Idaho Public Records Act, established in 1990, governs access to public documents in Idaho. All records are presumed to be open records. Exemptions include court records that would result in the release of confidentiality, law enforcement investigations, juvenile records, voting records of the sexual offender classification board, records concerning discrimination investigations, workers compensation records, prisoner records, current and former public employees, income tax information, hospital and medical care records, Idaho Housing and FInance Association, voter registration cards, records in the address confidentiality program, trade secrets including academic research, archaeological records and endangered species locations, draft legislation records, underwriting and claims records of the Idaho petroleum clean water trust fund, or judicial authorization of abortions for minors.

According to the Idaho Public Records Act all agencies that are considered part of the government of Idaho including both state and local agencies are covered with the exception of the state militia. Any person can request records and statement of purpose is not required. The only restriction on the use of open records is the creation of mailing or phoning lists. Three days is the time allowed for any request to either be granted or denied.

We the People

We the People have a Right to Know according to the Supreme Court of the United States [SCOTUS], past Presidents (of both major political parties), Congress, and the United States Department of Justice. As an expression of that Right to Know, we have coordinated valuable information from a number of resources into a single, public-facing, searchable database.
