THE DEADLINE TO SUBMIT LETTERS OF INTEREST IN THE LAWYER REPRESENTATIVE OPPORTUNITIES AVAILABLE IN THE DISTRICT OF NEVADA WAS EXTENDED TO MAY 12, 2023.
The United States District Court for the District of Nevada is accepting applications for Lawyer Representatives: one in Reno and two in Las Vegas. Lawyer representatives assist the Court with improving the administration of justice. They provide vital input to the Court on a myriad of issues affecting the operations of the federal courts, including but not limited to rule changes; development of new programs; planning of conferences; and the expenditure of funds from the non-appropriated account. Lawyer representatives also assist with educating members of the Bar generally about conferences and obtaining feedback for future conferences; promoting and judging the Ninth Circuit high school civics contest and local civics outreach; and finding ways to improve the general dialogue between the Court and Bar to make improvements in the judicial system.
The Court has nine lawyer representatives who ensure the lines of communication stay open between the Court and the Bar. The Court holds quarterly meetings with the lawyer representatives and informal meetings as needed. Each year, the Court solicits applications to fill vacant lawyer representative terms, which are three years in duration. The terms are staggered so that one-third of the lawyer representatives are selected each year.
A full public notice for Lawyer Representatives is available on the Court’s website (www.nvd.uscourts.gov). Letters of interest must be received by 4:00 p.m. on Friday, May 12, 2023. Questions can be directed to the Clerk of Court at 702-464-5456.
