Other civil (involving litigation under $10,000 and criminal misdemeanor proceedings) are assigned to the Magistrate's Division of the District Court, whose decisions may be appealed to the District Court. The District Court is also responsible for judicial review "of any act, order or proceeding" made by the Board of Bingham County Commissioners that aggrieves any person (Idaho Code § 31-1509). Decisions of the District Court may be appealed to the Supreme Court
(Article, Section 9).
