Governor Joe Lombardo announced his appointment of Gregory G. Gordon to the Eighth Judicial District Court, Family Division, department C. He replaces recently retired Judge Rebecca Burton. The Commission on Judicial Selection interviewed applicants and recommended three candidates to the governor for his selection to fill the vacant judicial seat.

“I’m pleased to announce that I’ve appointed Greg Gordon to serve in Department C of the Family Division of the Eighth Judicial District Court,” said Governor Lombardo. “Throughout his career, Greg has consistently demonstrated his excellent judgement and integrity, and I’m confident that he will continue to faithfully and admirably serve our community as judge.”

The new judge brings to the bench nearly three decades of family law practice in Nevada. He attended Valley High School, earned his B.A. in economics from Occidental College and graduated magna cum laude with J.D. from Pepperdine Law School.
