                          COURTS AND COURT OFFICIALS
                                  CHAPTER 7
                               DISTRICT COURTS
    1-703.  JURISDICTION OF JUDGES WHERE MORE THAN ONE -- ADMINISTRATIVE
JUDGE. Where there is more than one (1) judge in any district, the
jurisdiction of the respective judges of said district shall be equal and
coextensive with the boundaries of the district. In each judicial district
there shall be an administrative judge elected by a majority of the district
judges within the district to serve for a period of time as provided by rules
of the Idaho supreme court. In the event a majority of the district judges
cannot agree as to who shall be the administrative judge, then the appointment
of the administrative judge shall be by a majority of the Idaho supreme court
justices for a period of time as provided by rules of the Idaho supreme court.
The administrative judge is hereby granted all powers and duties heretofore or
hereafter granted to the senior district judge, and the administrative judge
shall apportion the business of such district among such judges as equally as
may be, but any judge shall have full power to hold terms of court, transact
judicial business, make orders, grant or refuse writs and generally exercise
all the powers of a district judge without the concurrence of the other judge
or judges. The administrative judge shall receive an annual salary in an
amount of one thousand five hundred dollars ($1,500) greater than the annual
salary of a district judge to compensate for the additional duties of the
office.
