Nevada Supreme Court Justice to speak at Monday's Carson City Democratic luncheon
Elissa Cadish, Associate Justice of the Nevada Supreme Court, will be the featured speaker at Monday's Democratic luncheon. Justice Cadish was elected in the November 2018 general election, filling the seat vacated by Michael Cherry. Her term ends in January, 2025. At the luncheon she will explain what the court does and discuss some noteworthy cases she has participated in deciding.
Justice Elissa Cadish was born and raised in New York and New Jersey. She moved to Las Vegas in 1989 after attending college at the University of Pennsylvania and law school at the University of Virginia. She clerked for United States District Judge Philip Pro and then practiced as an attorney in the areas of commercial litigation and employment law. In 2007, she was appointed as a Clark County District Judge by Governor Jim Gibbons, and subsequently won election to retain her seat in 2008 and 2014. Being sworn in as a justice of the Nevada Supreme Court in January 2019 created that court's first female majority.
Justice Cadish has been active in the community throughout her career, serving her synagogue, sitting on the board of the Jewish Family Service Agency and the Nevada Center for Civic Engagement, and serving as president of the Southern Nevada Association of Women Attorneys. She has won various awards and recognitions, including the Clark County Law Foundation’s prestigious Liberty Bell Award. She is now a proud resident of Carson City, where she lives with her husband Howard Beckerman and her children.
Sponsored by the Democratic Men's Committee, this event is scheduled for noon on Monday, August 30th. Justice Cadish will be presenting exclusively via Zoom. Those wishing to be on distribution for luncheon links should email Rich Dunn, Men's Committee Events Coordinator, at richdunn@aol.com.
