More Adoption Day Celebrations From Across the State
In addition to the recent Adoption Day Celebration held in Sixth Judicial District (see story in 11-09-16 Court E-News), here are some other celebrations held around the state:
As reported by Shelli Tubbs, 5th District Trial Court
Administrator
The Fifth Judicial District celebrated National Adoption Day on November 18th. This was our 6th annual celebration and was a collabo-ration with the Idaho Department of Health & Welfare-Child Welfare Division, Fifth Judicial District CASA Program and Family Court Services. This year our celebration
included the open adoption involving a local high school football coach. The court-room was packed with family and friends as well as our local media. Judge Richard Bevan addressed the crowd, expressed gratitude to all those involved in making adoptions possible, acknowledged the significance of this great event and read Chief Justice Jones’ Proclamation. Judge Calvin Campbell then presided over the adoption proceedings.
As reported by Larry Reiner, 4th District
Trial Court Administrator
The Ada County District Court celebrated National Adoption Day on November 18th, with Magistrate Judges Carolyn Minder and Andrew Ellis presiding over proceedings throughout the day. A number of Judges, Ada County commissioners, and courthouse staff joined in the celebration. Donated custom cakes, teddy bears, balloons, and roses were presented to each family which made for a very festive and memorable day.

iCourt Project Update
As the Idaho Judiciary moves to a modernized electronic court case manage-ment and e-filing system, it is crucial to collect active email addresses for all members of the Idaho State Bar to streamline electronic service between parties and Idaho courts. The Idaho Supreme Court is working in conjunction with the Idaho State Bar to collect this important information. Attorneys who have not already provided an active email address will need to visit the Idaho State Bar website, https://isb.idaho.gov/licensing/eservice_update.html, to designate their email address by December 5, 2016. Attorneys who have already provided this information do not need to take any action. Currently, when a case is electronically filed, the parties designate a service contact for themselves. This service contact is used for service of documents between the parties, but the court does not have access to it. And if an attorney fails to designate an email address there is no option for opposing counsel to search for it. This email address provided to the Idaho State Bar will be available in the e-filing system for attorneys to search and select the opposing counsel for electronic service. This address will be listed in the “Public Service Contact List,” similar to an email directory, enabling attorneys to easily serve each other. Attorneys will still have the ability to identify additional specific ser-vice contacts from their firm for each case. The Supreme Court’s e-filing rule will be amended to require all active members of the Idaho State Bar to designate and submit a single email for electronic service. The e-filing rule will state that the courts must use the designated email address for service of all notices or orders generated and served by the court. If you have any questions, please contact Michael Mehall, Court Operations
Manager, Idaho Supreme Court, at [email protected] or 208-947-7482.

As reported by Burt Butler, 7th District Trial Court Administrator
On November 18th District Judge Gregory Moeller and Magistrate Judge Ralph Savage reviewed and provided updates on the rules applicable to cameras in the courtroom, access to court records, and other protocols and procedures necessary to help both the print media and electronic media do their jobs more effectively, while maintaining a cooperative relationship between the judiciary and the media. Additionally, elected and deputy clerks were able to attend this orientation. The training was aimed at acquainting and updating new and experienced reporters, news directors, editors, and other media personnel with the applicable rules for effectively covering cases in Southeastern Idaho. The training reviewed the resources currently available to the media, and provided a preview of the exciting changes the judiciary’s transition to the paperless Odyssey system will bring.
