Proposed Amendments to the Idaho Rules of Civil Procedure

The Civil Rules Update Committee, chaired by Senior Judge David Day, has been charged with reviewing the Idaho Rules of Civil Procedure to simplify, clarify, and modernize the language, and to create a consistent

structure and format along with a more useful table of contents.

In 2007, the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure were updated with similar objectives and they are being used as a model. The Civil Rules Update Committee’s charge does not include making substantive changes; however, it does include identifying and making recommendations for substantive changes to the Civil Rules Advisory Committee for

consideration, which it did.

The proposed amendments were reviewed by the Civil Rules Advisory Committee and are now being recommended to the Idaho Supreme Court for adoption. Click here to review the proposals. Comments on the proposed amendments may be sent to Cathy Derden

by September 11, 2015.
