The Idaho State Bar (ISB) is the integrated (mandatory) bar association of the U.S. state of Idaho; it is a self-governing state agency of the State of Idaho.

History

Portions of the Idaho Code pertaining to the practice of law in Idaho date back to 1881.^[2] The present “integrated” Bar was established by the Legislature in 1923.

The ISB operates under authority delegated by the Supreme Court of Idaho through its rule making power, particularly in the area of admissions and discipline. The rules that govern the process are known as the "Idaho Bar Commission Rules." The ISB is governed by five Commissioners, elected from the seven districts into which the state is divided. Commissioners serve for staggered three years terms.
