Governor Little Appoints Regina McCrea to First Judicial District Judgeship

July 26, 2025

Governor Brad Little has appointed Regina McCrea, a seasoned civil litigator with more than two decades of legal experience, to serve as a district judge in Idaho’s First Judicial District, filling a newly created position chambered in Kootenai County.

McCrea, the owner and principal attorney of McCrea Law, has practiced law in North Idaho since 2007, focusing on personal injury, wrongful death, medical and legal malpractice, and a broad range of civil litigation. Her appointment follows a recommendation by the Idaho Judicial Council, which conducted a thorough vetting process in accordance with Idaho Code 1-2101 and related statutes.

“It is a great privilege to accept this role, and I am sincerely thankful for the trust Governor Little has placed in me through this appointment,” McCrea said in a statement. “I am committed to carrying out the duties of this office with fairness, transparency, and fidelity to the rule of law.”

McCrea holds a bachelor’s degree from Harding University and earned her Juris Doctor from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock. She has built a respected reputation in North Idaho’s legal community for her trial work and client advocacy.

The new judicial position was created by the Idaho Legislature to help address rising caseloads in the First Judicial District, which encompasses Benewah, Bonner, Boundary, Kootenai, and Shoshone counties.

“I would also like to thank my family, colleagues, and friends for their support; the Idaho Judicial Council for their detailed and careful selection process; and the countless individuals who worked to create and fund this much-needed position,” McCrea added. “I am excited to embark on this important work.”

Governor Little’s judicial appointments have emphasized experience, impartiality, and deep ties to Idaho’s communities. With this latest appointment, he continues to shape the state’s judiciary to meet the evolving needs of its growing population.

McCrea is expected to assume her duties later this year following a formal swearing-in ceremony.
