Nevada Supreme Court Justice Mark Gibbons will be retiring from the Nevada Supreme Court in January 2021, capping a nearly 24-year career as a member of Nevada’s judiciary. Justice Gibbons was first elected to the Nevada Supreme Court in 2002, making him the longest serving of the high court’s current seven members.
Justice Gibbons was sworn into the Nevada Supreme Court on January 6, 2003. During his tenure at the Nevada Supreme Court, he served as chief justice and head of the Nevada Judiciary in 2008, 2014, and 2019.
“Justice Gibbons has served Nevada with dignity, grace, and humility,” said Nevada Supreme Court Chief Justice Kristina Pickering. “He has been one of the most productive and energetic justices the court has had—always prepared and always pushing to reach the correct result in a timely, fair, and principled way. Justice Gibbons is a deeply courteous and kind human being—even in disagreement or dissent. It has been a privilege to serve with such a distinguished and remarkable man.”
"I’ve had the honor and privilege to help establish the law through the Nevada Supreme Court,” Justice Gibbons said. “The judicial system has faced some challenges in my time on the bench, but I believe the present court members will continue to excel for the state of Nevada for many years to come.”
