The search for a new interim judge at the Las Vegas Municipal Court is underway, with the City Council announcing an extension of the application deadline. Interested candidates now have until midnight on October 26 to submit their applications for consideration.
According to the City Council, the interim position comes with a key condition: the appointed judge must agree not to run for the same seat in next year’s election. The measure aims to ensure impartial leadership during the transition period. Applications are available online for interested candidates.
Replacing the esteemed Judge Susan Roger, who will be retiring on November 4 after over a decade of service since her 2011 election, is no small feat. According to the City of Las Vegas Charter, as reported by the city government's official bulletin, the council has the task of filling the bench by December 4. The appointed judge will serve until the next general election in 2026.
