May 14, 2024
Chief Justice Elissa Cadish announced this afternoon the Nevada Commission on Judicial Selection received one application from an individual who wishes to fill the judicial opening in Department 14 of the Eighth Judicial District Court.
This Commission will convene to determine the outcome of this vacancy. Department 27 is vacant through the resignation of the Honorable Adriana Escobar at the beginning of May of this year.
| Name | Age | City of Residence | Employer | Job Title |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tina Talim | 46 | Las Vegas | Office of the Clark County District Attorney | Chief Deputy District Attorney |
Nevada attorneys with 10 years of legal experience, including two years of Nevada practice, were encouraged to apply for the opening.
The Commission is composed of seven permanent members – the Supreme Court Chief Justice, three non-attorneys appointed by the Governor, and three attorneys appointed by the State Bar of Nevada. Neither the Governor nor the State Bar may appoint more than two permanent members from the same political party and cannot appoint two members from the same county. For District Court vacancies, two temporary members are appointed from the judicial district where the vacancy occurs – a non-attorney by the Governor and an attorney by the State Bar – bringing the Commission membership to nine.
