Governor Brad Little announced Thursday the appointment of Amanda Ulrich as a District Judge in Idaho’s Seventh Judicial District.
Ulrich, a trial attorney with more than 15 years of experience, is a partner at Casperson Ulrich Dustin, where she has practiced since 2018. Her work has focused primarily on civil litigation and employment law. She earned her undergraduate degree from Washington State University and her law degree from the University of Idaho.
“I am honored that Governor Little has selected me to serve the people of the Seventh Judicial District,” Ulrich said. “I look forward to fulfilling this important responsibility with fairness, impartiality, and a steadfast commitment to the rule of law.”
The new judgeship, created by the Idaho Legislature, is chambered in Bonneville County. The Seventh Judicial District covers Bingham, Bonneville, Butte, Clark, Custer, Fremont, Jefferson, Lemhi, Madison, and Teton counties.
Under Idaho law, judicial vacancies in the state’s higher courts and district courts are filled through a process in which the Idaho Judicial Council submits at least three qualified candidates to the governor for appointment.
