Idaho Criminal Rule 2. Purpose and Construction; Title; District Court Rules

 

(a)  Purpose and Construction. These rules are intended to provide for the just determination of every criminal proceeding. They must be construed to secure simplicity in procedure, fairness in administration and elimination of unjustifiable expense and delay.


(b)  Title. These rules are to be known and cited as the Idaho Criminal Rules (I.C.R.).


(c)  District Court Rules. No district court or magistrate division may make rules of procedure except as expressly authorized by these rules. The district courts of each judicial district by a majority vote of all district judges may make rules governing the internal case management and procedure of the district court including procedures for setting the time and place for trial of criminal actions and the hearing of all other proceedings and motions. Any local rules must be consistent with these rules, and must be approved and published by order of the Supreme Court before they are effective, except in cases declared by the Supreme Court to be an emergency, in which case the order may be declared to be effective immediately.

 

(Adopted February 22, 2017, effective July 1, 2017.)
