BOISE, Idaho (AP) — A deputy Ada County prosecutor has been appointed to serve as the new 4th District Court judge.
Gov. C.L. "Butch" Otter on Friday appointed Jonathan Medema of Meridian to the post that has been vacant since late February.
Medema has a bachelor's degree in aeronautical and astronautical engineering from the University of Illinois-Champaign-Urbana, and attained a law degree at Seattle University.
He came to Idaho in 1992 to work as an engineer at the Idaho National Laboratory but left to pursue a law career.
Medema replaced Judge Thomas Neville, who retired.
