Are Court Records Public in Elmore County?

According to Idaho Court Administrative Rule 32, Elmore County court records are accessible to the public except otherwise stated by law or court order. While the Rule promotes transparency through public access to judicial records, it also protects personal privacy and ensures fair judicial proceedings by restricting public access to certain documents. For instance, most juvenile court files, adoption records, and cases involving confidential medical or financial information are inaccessible. Sealed or expunged records and sensitive information about victims in criminal cases are also restricted.
