Members of the NJLJ,

I am so very honored to have been selected to serve as your President. The previous years have seen us experience changes and difficulties we never anticipated. Having worked with you all for the past decade, I am confident each of your courts have adeptly and decisively faced the challenges to come out on the other side better and stronger.

After two, very long, years, I look forward to seeing each of you in North Las Vegas this January and later, in the spring, for the judicial summit at South Lake Tahoe. At each event, we have our usual selection of quality educational topics. And, Judges Harris and Hoo have been working hard to provide new social activities in North Las Vegas.

Of the highest value, however, we will be able to meet face to face; to commiserate about the hard days, to celebrate the successes and, most importantly, to enjoy a drink or meal and simply reconnect with each other.

We may have not completely put our past troubles behind us. We may have new storms awaiting us on the horizon. But, a better light is dawning, by the simple fact, I can say: ”we’re back together”.

See you all in North Las Vegas!

Judge Stephen J. Bishop

President, NJLJ - 2021
