flag Idaho's top judge warns of rising threats to courts, funding cuts harming mental health programs, and growing case loads.

flag Idaho Supreme Court Chief Justice G. Richard Bevan warned the legislature of rising threats against judges and court staff, citing a recent shooting and a judge’s nationwide threats, which disrupt justice delivery. flag He highlighted a 17% surge in civil cases and a 60% rise in high-value cases, stressing that mental health courts—critical for diverting individuals from incarceration—face uncertainty after state funding cuts eliminated peer support services. flag Though the judiciary temporarily sustained these services, Bevan emphasized the need for long-term solutions to maintain court effectiveness and public safety.
