The Nevada Commission on Judicial Selection interviewed 14 applicants this week before selecting the finalists. No time limit exists within which Governor Gibbons must make a judicial appointment. However, if an appointment is not made within 30 days following submission of names by the Commission, the Governor may make no other appointments to public office.
The individual the Governor selects will serve out the unexpired term of office, which ends in January 2009. The appointed judge must run in the 2008 election to retain the seat.
