Las Vegas Review-Journal — Clark County District Judge Elissa Cadish has been nominated by President Barack Obama to serve as a U.S. district judge in Nevada, Sen. Harry Reid announced Thursday.
Reid, D-Nev., recommended Cadish for the job.
"Elissa Cadish is a highly respected legal mind who has earned the esteem of litigants, practitioners, and her colleagues as a judge in Nevada's Eighth Judicial District Court," Reid said in a statement. "Cadish has served Nevadans with distinction, and throughout her career she has exhibited integrity, thoughtfulness, and fairness.
