Special thanks to all who attended the Clark County Bar Luncheon sponsored by Bank of Nevada, First Legal, and Dillon Health, held at the Las Vegas Country Club on March 23, 2023. The luncheon was hosted by CCBA President Brandon Kemble and featured a swearing-in ceremony, a special guest speaker, and the presentation of volunteer appreciation awards.
Chief Justice Lidia Stiglich presented a brief yet detailed update about the Supreme Court of Nevada. She included interesting statistics relevant to the court’s caseload and demographics. She also presided over the swearing-in ceremony for the CCBA Executive Board let by Brandon Kemble (President), Paul Ray (President-Elect), and Joel Henriod (Secretary-Treasurer).
Brandon noted that CCBA Past President Nedda Ghandi was unable to attend the event, and he recognized her and several members of the bar for their tremendous efforts made to support the organization during the past year.
