Clark County, Nevada
January 12, 2026
In the heart of Clark County’s legal system—where every decision has the power to change lives—one judge has emerged as a steady, trusted voice of fairness, competence, and unshakable judicial integrity. Judge Veronica Barisich of Department 5 is not a politician in a robe. She is a workhorse of the District Court, a listener before she rules, and a leader whose commitment extends far beyond legal decisions.
Driven by Real Experience, Forged in Courtrooms
Before stepping onto the bench, Judge Barisich built a legal career handling real cases that affected real lives. She represented everyday Nevadans in a wide range of matters, focusing on civil disputes, advocating in trial courts, navigating complex litigation, and gaining a broad courtroom perspective that few attorneys ever achieve.
When she put on the robe, she already understood what it meant to stand beside a client facing high stakes—and to stand opposite one. That depth of experience continues to anchor her decisions today.
A Judge Who Shows Up Prepared—Every Single Time
Attorneys who enter her courtroom quickly notice the difference: Judge Barisich is prepared. Always.
She reads the motions.
She knows the files.
She understands the details.
That preparation translates into rulings that are thoughtful, consistent, and grounded in law—not ego, emotion, or outside pressure.
Her courtroom is known for efficiency, decorum, and respect. Whether a case involves high-value litigation or a routine civil motion, each receives her full attention and best judgment.
Fair to All, Intimidated by None
In an era when public confidence in the courts is fragile, Judge Barisich delivers something rarely discussed but deeply felt: stability.
She is not swayed by volume, personality, or theatrics. She treats attorneys and litigants with courtesy, but she never allows the process to be hijacked.
Her rulings reflect:
• Discipline
• Independence
• Respect for citizens and the Constitution
• Equal footing for both sides
That is what justice should look like—and that is what she delivers.
Leadership That Extends Beyond the Bench
Judge Barisich does not leave her passion for public service at the courtroom door. She mentors future lawyers. She volunteers through bar associations. She supports pipeline programs for first-generation law students and young professionals. She dedicates time to strengthening the legal system from the ground up, not merely presiding from above.
That work matters—because the next generation of judges, prosecutors, defenders, and private counsel deserve role models who demonstrate fairness in action, not just rhetoric.
The Consistency Clark County Needs Now
With Clark County’s explosive growth, the demands on district court judges have never been greater. New cases arrive every week. Complex litigation strains the system. Communities are evolving, and with them, the nature of legal conflict.
Replacing a judge of Barisich’s caliber would mean starting over at a time when the system needs momentum—not disruption.
Experience. Stability. Vision.
These are not buzzwords. They are what keep the wheels of justice turning.
Why Voters Should Keep Her on the Bench
Judge Veronica Barisich represents:
• Experience earned, not inherited
• A belief in justice delivered fairly to every person
• The professionalism and respect attorneys rely on
• An unwavering commitment to Clark County families, businesses, and citizens
• A judicial temperament that keeps courtrooms orderly, focused, and mission-driven
She brings heart, intellect, and humility to her role—qualities that are both rare and invaluable.
The Bottom Line
Great judges are the quiet heroes of the legal system. They do not chase attention or headlines; they uphold the law with steady resolve.
Judge Veronica Barisich is one of those rare judges.
Clark County deserves jurists who rise to the moment, understand the community, and deliver unquestionable fairness in every decision. For the sake of those who seek justice—and those who depend on it—Judge Veronica Barisich of Department 5 should remain on the bench.
