The Sixth Judicial District Magistrates Commission is pleased to announce the appointment of the Honorable Adam M. Strong as the new Magistrate Judge for Power County. Judge Strong was selected from a pool of 11 qualified applicants, with six candidates interviewed by the Commission.

He will succeed the Honorable Paul S. Laggis, who will retire from the bench on Aug. 1 after many years of dedicated service to the Power County community.

A sixth-generation Idahoan, Judge Strong earned his bachelor's degree in political science from Brigham Young University–Idaho and received his juris doctor from the J. Reuben Clark Law School at Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah.

Judge Strong currently serves as the magistrate judge in Boise County, a role to which he was appointed in March 2023. Before joining the judiciary, he served as the Boise County prosecutor and as a deputy city attorney for the city of Boise. His background brings a depth of prosecutorial and municipal law experience to the bench.

Judge Strong and his family enjoy spending time together in Idaho's great outdoors, embracing the recreational opportunities and community values of the region.

The Sixth Judicial District welcomes Judge Strong to his new role and looks forward to his continued service to the people of Idaho.
