7TH DISTRICT – IDAHO FALLS LOCATION
Fall 2023 Class

The Seventh District Bar Association of the Idaho State Bar is pleased to announce and open the
application process to accept students for this year’s 2023 Citizens’ Law Academy (CLA).
The CLA is an adult education program offered free to attendees and is coordinated by the Idaho
Law Foundation’s Law Related Education Program in collaboration with our Seventh District Bar
Association, which includes the following ten (10) counties: Bingham, Bonneville, Butte, Custer,
Jefferson, Madison, Clark, Fremont, Lemhi, and Teton Counties. The purpose of the CLA is to
educate others about their rights under the law, discover what lawyers do and how they serve the
public, and understand how the judicial system works.
The CLA is open to anyone eighteen (18) years or older who has a high level of interest in our
program. All applicants must fill out an application. Typically, thirty-five (35) people participate in
the Academy each year. The CLA program itself is staffed by volunteers from the legal
community. This year’s presenters include:

1. Wendy Horman, Idaho House of Representatives – District 30, Seat B;
2. Honorable Dane H. Watkins, Jr., Seventh Judicial District Administrative Judge;
3. Tammie Whyte, Seventh Judicial District Trial Court Administrator;
4. Honorable Molly J. Huskey, Idaho Court of Appeals Judge;
5. Honorable Gregory W. Moeller, Idaho Supreme Court Justice;
6. Honorable Michelle R. Mallard, Bonneville County Magistrate Judge;
7. Curtis Smith, attorney at Smith Woolf Anderson & Wilkinson;
8. H. Alayne Bean, Seventh Judicial District Deputy Trial Court Administrator; and
9. Challis A. McNally, attorney at Parsons Behle & Latimer

The classes will be held from 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm in Idaho Falls, Idaho. The classes begin
on Wednesday, September 6, 2023, and will continue each Wednesday thereafter (no class will be
held on September 27, 2023) for a total of seven (7) classes, with the last class being held on
October 25, 2023. Because space is limited, participants are expected to attend all seven classes.
Refreshments are served after each class.

This is an exclusive and unique experience to learn from and discuss legal matters with some of the
most prominent judges and attorneys in the State of Idaho. All citizens of the 10 counties within the
Seventh Judicial District are encouraged to apply. The deadline to apply to this Fall’s Academy is
Friday, August 18, 2023.
