Carson City District Court Judge Jim Wilson announces re-election run
Judge Jim Wilson will seek re-election as district court judge. Judge Wilson was elected to the First Judicial District Court, which serves Carson City and Storey County, in 2008.
Judge Wilson graduated from Carson High School, the University of Nevada, Reno, and McGeorge School of Law. He was a deputy district attorney and then Elko County District Attorney. He was in private practice in Carson City for 22 years before taking the bench.
“As the Code of Judicial Conduct says, ‘an independent, fair and impartial judiciary is indispensable to our system of justice. The American legal system is based upon the principle that an independent, impartial, and competent judiciary, composed of men and women of integrity, will interpret and apply the law that governs our society.’ I have dedicated myself to honoring and strengthening that principle,” Judge Wilson said.
Judge Wilson has been recognized by the Nevada Supreme Court and the National Judicial College for his judicial education accomplishments and is a leader in the Nevada judicial community serving as Chairman of the Sierra Judicial Council, representative to the State Judicial Council, and a member of the Nevada Supreme Court Juvenile Justice Commission and Access to Justice Commission.
Before law school Judge Wilson served as a Carson City Deputy Sheriff and later served as a Sparks Reserve Police Officer. He has been active for many years in youth sports programs, Boy Scouts, and served as PTA president.
