BACKGROUND:
Whenever a justice of the peace is disqualified from acting in a case pending in the Justice Court or is unable to perform their official duties because of temporary sickness, absence, or other cause, they may appoint a person from a panel of substitute justices of the peace or invite another justice of the peace to act in their place. Pursuant to previous approval from the Board of County Commissioners, the rate of compensation for a justice of the peace pro tempore is an hourly rate equal to one-half of the hourly compensation of the justice of the peace in the Court in which the justice of the peace pro tempore is sitting or $50 per day, whichever is greater.
Under NRS 4.032, the Board is empowered to select a number of persons it determines appropriate to compromise a panel of substitute justices of the peace pro tempore. The selected individuals must possess the qualifications set forth in NRS 4.010 for the office of justice of the peace in Clark County. Attached hereto is a list of additional recommended candidates for the panel of justices of the peace pro tempore. It is recommended that the adopted panel of justices of the peace pro tempore be in effect until December 31, 2026.
