Searching Idaho State Court Data

The Idaho State Court Data Repository is now online.

It allows you to search any Idaho state court case filed in all 44 counties since 1995 by case number or case name, allows you to access court calendars by case number, and allows you to review the ROAs (record of action) for any case by case number.  Very useful!
