Inside the Courts: Municipal Justice, Family Court, and the Decisions That Shape Lives
On today’s episode of The Middle Ground, Tom Letizia continues the show’s ongoing Judicial Series, giving listeners an inside look at two of the most important courts in Southern Nevada.
The conversation begins with Jessica Green, candidate for Las Vegas Municipal Court, where we discuss why Municipal Court is often the public’s first interaction with the justice system, the volume and complexity of cases, and the qualities voters should look for in a judge who presides over city matters that impact daily life.
In the second half of the show, Tom is joined by Family Court Judge Margaret Pickard for a thoughtful and candid discussion about the realities of Family Court—where decisions involving children, parents, safety, and stability are made every day. Judge Pickard shares insight into the emotional weight of these cases, the importance of fairness and temperament, and why experience on the bench matters.
As always, The Middle Ground focuses on education over politics, offering voters clarity, context, and meaningful conversations—without partisan spin.
