COURTNEY M. PETERSON (Resignation in Lieu of Disciplinary Proceedings) On October 14, 2025, the Idaho Supreme Court entered an Order accepting the resignation in lieu of disciplinary proceedings of Boise attorney Courtney M. Peterson. The Idaho Supreme Court's Order followed a stipulated resolution of a disciplinary proceeding that related to the following conduct. On September 15, 2023, prison staff searched the cell of Ms. Peterson's client and located a cell phone with evidence showing Ms. Peterson distributed drugs to her client while at the prison. On June 18, 2025, Ms. Peterson was charged in the U.S. District Court for the District of Idaho with one felony count related to that conduct. Also on June 18, 2025, Ms. Peterson agreed to plead guilty under a Rule 11 Plea Agreement to one count of distribution of methamphetamine. In the resulting disciplinary case, Ms. Peterson admitted that she engaged in a concurrent conflict of interest in violation of IRPC 1.7(a)(2) and committed a criminal act that reflected adversely on his fitness as a lawyer in violation of IRPC 8.4(b). The Idaho Supreme Court accepted Ms. Peterson's resignation in lieu of disciplinary proceedings. By the terms of the Order, Ms. Peterson may not apply for admission to the Idaho State Bar sooner than five (5) years from the date of her resignation. If she does apply for admission after five (5) years, she will be required to comply with all the bar admission requirements in Section II of the Idaho Bar Commission Rules and shall have the burden of overcoming the rebuttable presumption of the "unfitness to practice law." By the terms of the Idaho Supreme Court's Order, Ms. Peterson's name was stricken from the records of the Idaho Supreme Court and her right to practice law before the courts in the State of Idaho was terminated on October 14, 2025.
