Summary

The council approved the ratification of Hans Jessup as municipal court administrator after a judiciary-led internal selection process; judges cited his operations experience and court-management skills.

The City Council on Jan. 15 ratified Hans Jessup as the next court administrator for Las Vegas Municipal Court.

Deputy City Manager Tim Hacker and Chief Judge Kelly Giordani outlined the internal selection process: the vacancy was posted internally, two qualified internal candidates were interviewed by the six municipal judges and court-management representatives, and the judiciary selected Jessup by unanimous decision.

Giordani said Jessup, currently the court operations manager, has professional experience with court management systems and knowledge of municipal-court operations. Jessup, who described a long career in court-related roles including time with the state Supreme Court, told council he plans to emphasize communication and support for staff.

Council members asked for periodic briefings on court priorities; Jessup agreed to work with the council and court leadership on future presentations. The council moved to ratify and announced the motion passed.
