Las Vegas Justice Court Dept 2
One member said, “Clearly, he's the more experienced, both legally and on the bench ... As far as judicial candidates, who we want on the bench, think it leans towards experience here, unless there's some reason they don't need to stay on the bench, and I didn't uncover any of that.” Another: “I think Joe is a throwback to the kind of old guard, but in a good way. He's accessible. He's fair to all the parties. He's a problem solver when called upon. Sometimes, I think he's grown a little conservative, for my personal taste, but by the same token, I think he has done as good a job on the bench as any JP maybe ever has in the Las Vegas justice bench, especially with his efforts to at least single-handedly do some reform.” Another: “I think Crystal could be a very good Justice Court judge. I wish she had chosen a different department … Santo is not one of the Justice Court judges who needs to be replaced at all. He's pretty evenhanded.” Bottom line: Clear nod to Sciscento
