RYAN D. JENKS
(Resignation in Lieu of Disciplinary Proceedings)
On February 2, 2026, the Idaho Supreme Court entered an Order accepting the resignation in lieu of disciplinary proceedings of Boise attorney Ryan D. Jenks. The Idaho Supreme Court's Order followed a stipulated resolution of a disciplinary proceeding that related to the following conduct.
On February 11, 2025, Mr. Jenks was charged in Ada County with two felony counts involving allegations of sexual abuse of a child under the age of sixteen years, and one felony count of lewd conduct with a minor child under sixteen. On September 18, 2025, Mr. Jenks pled guilty to one felony count of lewd conduct with a minor child under sixteen. Mr. Jenks admitted that such conduct violated I.R.P.C. 8.4(b) [Committing a criminal act that reflects adversely on the lawyer's honesty, trustworthiness, or fitness as a lawyer in other respects]. Mr. Jenks agreed to resign his license in lieu of disciplinary proceedings.
The Idaho Supreme Court accepted Mr. Jenks' resignation in lieu of disciplinary proceedings. By the terms of the Order, Mr. Jenks may not apply for admission to the Idaho State Bar sooner than five (5) years from the date of his resignation. If he does apply for admission after five (5) years, he 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, Mr. Jenks' name was stricken from the records of the Idaho Supreme Court and his right to practice law before the courts in the State of Idaho was terminated on February 2, 2026.
