Boise, ID (WorkersCompensation.com) -- Any practicing attorney or anyone who’s had to work their way through a court system knows well that there are plenty of rules about practice and procedure to govern what needs to be filed and when and how things must go for a case to get to court.
There’s also a language that goes along with it, and Idaho has definitions that apply to the judicial rules of practice and procedure. Here’s a look at those Gem State terms.

| File or filing | The actual receipt of a document by the Commission via email, fax, or physical delivery to the Commission’s main office at 11321 W. Chinden Blvd. (Bldg. #2), Boise, Idaho 83714.

Documents received after 5:00 p.m., Mountain Time, will be deemed filed the next business day. Documents received via email or fax before midnight, Mountain Time, will be considered filed on that date, unless an exception applies. |
