Clark County taking applicants for vacant judge seat

Updated November 1, 2017 - 5:12 pm

Clark County is accepting applications for a vacant judge’s seat in the Las Vegas Township Justice Court.

The vacancy is the result of the September resignation of Justice of the Peace Deborah Lippis. Applications are available at clarkcountynv.gov and on the sixth floor of the County Government Center, 500 S. Grand Central Parkway.

Applicants must have at least five years experience as an attorney and submit their application to the county manager’s office by Nov. 30. The appointed judge would serve until January 2019.

An eight-member county judicial selection committee will review and recommend applicants for the position. Clark County commissioners will make the appointment.

Justice Court handles misdemeanors, traffic matters, felony arraignments, civil disputes under $15,000, small claims and landlord-tenant disputes.
