Problem-Solving Courts

Abstract

Here you will find information about the Drug, Mental Health, and DUI Courts of Idaho’s seven Judicial Districts, resources to assist those who manage and staff Idaho Drug, Mental Health, and DUI Courts, and links to a wealth of additional web-based information. Problem Solving Courts in Idaho operate under the statutory authority of the Idaho Drug Court Act [2], passed in 2001 by the Idaho Legislature, as part of a coordinated criminal justice strategy to address the drug – crime connection. Also see Idaho Court Administrative Rule 55 (I.C.A.R. 55 [3]). In 2005, Mental Health Courts were authorized under amendments to the Drug Court Act.
