STATE OF IDAHO JUDICIAL BRANCH
Supreme Court

Idaho Supreme Court Chief Justice G. Richard Bevan will deliver his first State of the Judiciary to the Idaho Legislature at 11:15 a.m. MT on Wednesday, Jan. 27, 2021.

The annual address complements the Judicial Branch's yearly report to lawmakers (annualreport.isc.idaho.gov). It includes a recap of the previous year, highlights of significant programs and projects, and information on Judicial Branch budget requests for the coming fiscal year. This year it also provides Chief Justice Bevan, who assumed his leadership role Jan. 1, the opportunity to introduce himself to lawmakers and the public.

To support precautions and best practices surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic, Bevan will deliver his address over video. The State of the Judiciary can be watched online through Idaho In Session (idahoptv.org/shows/idahoinsession) and over the air on Idaho Public Television's House and Senate feeds (the Plus and World channels). The Judicial Branch will publish a replay and the text of the address after it concludes.

The Idaho Supreme Court announced today that Idaho Supreme Court Chief Justice Roger Burdick will be stepping down as Chief Justice at the end of his current term on December 31, 2020.
