Common questions
How do I know a Idaho lawyer is really licensed?
Match the name to an active record on the Idaho State Bar with a status of eligible to practice. A lawyer who cannot be found on the board's roll is not licensed in Idaho, whatever a website says.
What does "not eligible" mean if the license still exists?
The lawyer is on the roll but barred from practicing today, most often for unpaid dues or a lapsed requirement. It is not the same as discipline, and it is usually temporary.
Can I see if a lawyer has been disciplined?
Public. The Idaho State Bar handles discipline under the Idaho Supreme Court, and an attorney's status shows on the roster. Where an order exists, the board links to it from the record.
