Lindeman named Supreme Court Clerk

Appeal Capitol Bureau

Tracie Lindeman, a veteran staff attorney at the Nevada Supreme Court, has been appointed clerk of the court for the Nevada Supreme Court, succeeding Janette Bloom.

She is the 16th clerk of the court to serve since Nevada became a state in 1864.

The clerk of the court is responsible for all Supreme Court files and documents, manages the court's caseload and dockets, coordinates public hearings and releases court decisions.

Chief Justice Mark Gibbons said Lindeman has done "an outstanding job" as a supervising staff attorney for the court's central legal staff. She has held that title in the staff's criminal division for a total of more than 15 years.

She began her career at the court as a law clerk for then-Justice Charles Springer. She was also a law clerk for District Judge Mario Recanzone in the Third Judicial District covering Churchill and Lyon counties.

Lindeman graduated from Pahrump Valley High School and received her law degree from Gonzaga University.

"Because we have no intermediate appellate court, our Supreme Court has a huge caseload," she said when her appointment was announced.

She said the clerk's office will continue its efforts to reduce the backlog of cases and efforts to further streamline procedures wherever possible. She added that she is committed to keeping court information open to the public.
