About Us
The Idaho Judicial System relies on the dedication of its staff and their commitment to serving the public. Here are some notable achievements by the people and teams that set the Idaho Courts apart.
Judge Steven Boyce | Granata Award
With the George C. Granata Award, the Idaho courts recognize an individual who has gone above and beyond to ensure all Idahoans have access to fair and efficient justice.
Seventh District Judge Steven Boyce draws from years of expertise in both civil and criminal law. He received this award to recognize the respect he builds for the judicial system through his steady, fair approach to his work. Those who nominated Judge Boyce noted that jurors in recent high-profile cases said observing him restored their faith in the rule of law.
Judge Eric Wildman | Kramer Award
The Douglas D. Kramer Award recognizes excellence in judicial administration in Idaho’s state courts through demonstrated character and action.
Fifth District Judge Eric Wildman is also his district’s administrative judge. He was honored for his leadership, his legal knowledge, and the time and consideration he gives others. Those around him described him as a problem-solver passionate about the law and about the public he serves.
Judge Debra Orr | Legacy Award
Through the Legacy Award, the Magistrate Judges Association honors a judge for their dedicated and noteworthy leadership and service to their community, colleagues and citizens.
Canyon County Magistrate Judge Debra Orr just marked 20 years on the bench — time spent addressing her community’s disputes, helping to establish a DUI court and mentoring other judges across the state. Those who nominated her lauded her work ethic and the care she shows for her peers.
Senior Judge Ralph Savage | Eismann Award
The Daniel T. Eismann Award for Excellence in Treatment Courts recognizes just that — a judge who demonstrates exceptional leadership and commitment to the success of their treatment court and its participants.
Judge Savage was instrumental in the operation of four treatment courts that found new and innovative ways to address the needs of Idaho residents. In all of these courts, he introduced new ways to advance accountability, treatment and compassion for participants.
