The Eighth Judicial District Court, Family Division has been serving our community for more than 20 years. During the week of Nov. 17-21, visitors are invited to get a first-hand look at programs aimed at ensuring the best interest of families in our community and to meet service providers who help families during some of their most challenging times. A week filled with informative events is planned at the Family Court. The events include: two service provider days in the Family Court atrium; a ropes challenge at the juvenile detention facility that will demonstrate some of the work being accomplished to rehabilitate youth offenders; an adoption fair that will share the wonderful fulfillment of adoption; a recognition ceremony to honor those who founded the Family Court and to provide perspective on why it is so crucial to our community; and an art contest showcase of what family means to children in Clark County.

“It took a lot of work and commitment from many individuals to establish and build the Family Court to what it is today. A lot has been accomplished over the past 20 years to assist families in some of their most challenging times,” said Presiding Family Court Judge Charles Hoskin. “This 20th anniversary recognition week is an opportunity for the community to see what is available to ensure the interests of families in Clark County. The events will also offer a perspective on the importance of a court focused on addressing family law.”
