The RJ's Judging the Judges poll results are out, and today it's a family affair. Here's the numbers for our Family Court judges (ranked in order of retention score and without misspelling "break" ... picky, picky):
- Judge Cheryl B. Moss: 36% would retain
- Judge Cynthia Dianne Steel: 42% would retain
- Judge Kenneth E. Pollock: 47% would retain
- Judge Sandra L. Pomrenze: 56% would retain
- Judge William B. Gonzalez: 60% would retain
- Judge William S. Potter: 64% would retain
- Judge Mathew Harter: 68% would retain
- Judge Jennifer Elliott: 70% would retain
- Judge Cynthia N. Giuliani: 71% would retain
- Judge Bill Henderson: 72% would retain
- Judge Steven E. Jones: 75% would retain
- Judge William O. Voy: 83% would retain
- Judge T. Arthur Ritchie, Jr.: 85% would retain
- Judge Robert W. Teuton: 85% would retain
- Judge Charles J. Hoskin: 87% would retain
- Judge Bryce C. Duckworth: 89% would retain
- Judge Gloria S. Sanchez: 92% would retain
- Judge Frank P. Sullivan: 96% would retain
This category is host to one of our favorites, Judge Moss (the Walsh of Family Court), as well as Judge Frank Sullivan, who has the highest overall retention score of any judge in any category. It's no small feet to please 96% of Nevada Attorneys (that one's for you ... spelling Nazi) ... and he's a flashy dresser to boot. Congrats, Sully!
Let us know your thoughts on the results of the family court poll in the comments. We'll be posting about the remaining polls throughout the week.

I guess the good news for litigants in Family Court is that there is only a slightly higher than one in four chance of getting a judge whose retention rate is right at or below the failing mark.
What should be considered the failing mark? Below 60%? Below 66% (supermajority)? Other?
I don't know what a "failing" mark should be, but I know I would personally be embarrassed if less than 75% of the attorneys who appeared before me thought I was worthy of retention.
Steele is insane. I can't believe they let her have a law license, let alone sit on the bench.
looks like 10:29 thinks 60% or below is failing. I guess in school below 60% was failing, but that still would leave Judge Gonzalez with a D-, so it would be slightly lower than 1/4 with failing marks.
WHO the HELL would retain Judge Potter....AWEFUL...Just AWEFUL....
Judge Pollock looks like a furby and he has a comparable intellect as well.
@ 1:37 PM: Probably the same people who know how to spell AWFUL.
I can't believe Judge Elliott got a 70%. Are these people who haven't appeared in front of her?
OK OK Excuse me that I slipped and spelled "Aweful" with an e...I'm pretty sure its because when I think of Potter and some of the crap rulings he has made effecting many children and families it makes me so irritated and angry to the point that I can't spell (that and my home computer is a Mac and corrects spelling for me)...He is a horrible human being and a horrible judge...I know not many on this website practice family law, but there will be a day when you may be in front of this giant bag of douche...have fun...you never know what you will get from one day to the next...
It would seem to me that any time one in four attorneys who appear before you believe that you shouldn't be on the bench, that's not such a great score..... just saying Judge Jones.
Judge Potter should not be retained in my opinion. He does not respect the law and acts more like a dictator in court. He decides what motions are to be heard, not fair and balanced evidence motions. Chidren suffer under his orders.
Anyone know when Potters term is up? He needs to go. My children are suffering because he favors mormon men. He does not allow women/mothers speak.
According to http://www.accessclarkcounty.com/depts/election/english/pages/justicesjudges.aspx
Potter's term is up in 2014.
Anybody who has a bad run in with judge Charles J. Hoskin also known as Chuck......you can do something about it at http://judicial.state.nv.us/ many people are currently filing which may remove him from his position.
Below are more links read the complaints this is only some however I have researched many more.

On January 4, 2012, Judge Cynthia Dianne Steel ordered two children to be released to the custody of their mother, to live with her and her fiancé who is a nationally registered child sex offender. When proof was provided to show Judge Steel this man still resides at the home she is sending the children back to, her comment was, “I don't care.” She also told him, “to move to (their new city) if you want to see your children.” Both the mother and her attorney, Patricia Ross, told blatant lies to Judge Steel’s face while in court and it was regarded as more of a joke to the judge. One case Judge Steel ruled on and is quoted saying, “I guess my experiment failed.” The children and families of the State of Nevada CANNOT continue to be used as her “experiment” projects.
Judge Pomrenze is belligerent and self righteous. She obviously does not read the motions before her. She contradicts her own decisions from one hearing to the next. God help you if you present her with a transcript… she goes nuts when presented with the facts. She has waffled her position more than once on a moderately straight forward dispute and as a result, we’ve had four hearings and no decisions. No wonder the RJ found her to be the one of the lowest rated Family Court judge currently serving.
Robert "Todd" Teuton: Lets take away your liberty and see how you feel. This judge is as corrupt as they come. He has no respect for the laws of this state and rules in accordance with his desire. Beware should you end up a male litigant in his courtroom as he exhibits all the classy of your stock "mommy's" judge. Enough said.....
