THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 05, 2026 Scammers are impersonating local and federal jury offices and law enforcement. They may use your personal details, real agency names, and fake badge numbers to pressure you into staying on the line and threaten arrest or fines. Courts never call to demand payment or personal information. Do not share any information—hang up immediately. Verify jury matters only by contacting your local or federal jury office using official phone numbers.
The Idaho Legal History Society (ILHS) was organized in 2005 by Chief Judge B. Lynn Winmill and then State District Judge and retired U.S. Magistrate Judge Ronald E. Bush, United States District Court, District of Idaho. Its founding members are Byron Johnson, former Idaho Supreme Court Justice; The Honorable Ronald J. Wilper, retired Fourth Judicial District, State of Idaho; Rita Ryan, Judith Austin, Tom McCabe, Boise attorney; Betty Richardson, former United States Attorney; Russ Heller, Boise Public Schools and Susie Boring-Headlee, Parsons, Behle & Latimer.
The group discovered that many people have been quietly preserving Idaho's legal history on their own, and many more wanted to be part of the effort. From these efforts, the ILHS was born.
