Hearing master (D), attorney (D) facing off for Las Vegas Justice Court seat

A hearing master and attorney are vying for a seat on the Las Vegas Justice Court bench in Department 8.

Lawyer Nancy Bernstein, who was raised by parents heavily involved in unions has more than 15 years of experience in private practice as both a criminal defense attorney and as a civil litigator, said she believes in the judicial system, but feels justice court needs to be streamlined.

“We have to hurry up and get used to the fact that we’re a big city now,” Bernstein said.

Hearing Master Amy Ferreira, who advocates against animal cruelty, wants to be a voice for those who can’t speak for themselves.

She said she feels that the current system is to onerous for citizens spending too long in court.
