As a longtime member of the Las Vegas community, Judge Schwartz shares insights from her years on the bench, the responsibilities of serving the public, and the values that guide her decisions in cases that impact Southern Nevada residents every day.
Judge Jennifer Schwartz is a proud lifelong Las Vegan with deep roots in faith, family, and service. She is the granddaughter of Holocaust survivors and a World War II veteran, and she is a first-generation United States citizen.
