Justice Linda Marie Bell has served on the Nevada Supreme Court since 2023. Prior to serving on the Nevada Supreme Court, she worked as a trial court judge for fourteen years.
During her tenure with the trial court, Justice Bell started the District Court Veteran’s Treatment Court and also worked to implement the District Court Gambling Diversion Treatment Court, which was the only one of its kind in the country. Justice Bell also served for four years as the Chief Judge of the largest court in the State of Nevada.
A third generation Nevadan, Justice Bell graduated with honors from the University of Nevada, Reno and the University of San Diego School of Law, where she served as a Lead Articles Editor for the University of San Diego Law Review.
After graduation, Justice Bell worked as a law clerk to the Honorable Sally Loehrer. Following her clerkship, Justice Bell worked in private practice in the areas of medical malpractice and family law. Justice Bell then served as a public defender for five years in Clark County, handling felony criminal trial cases, and spent seven years at the Law Offices of the Federal Public Defender handling complex post-conviction cases.
She has held national leadership roles in the ABA Judicial Division and frequently lectures on judicial ethics and issues affecting judges. She is the mother of three adult children, who remain entirely unimpressed by the title “Justice.”
Robert H. Jackson & the Justice Jackson Lecture Series
The Jackson Lecture is named in honor of the late U.S. Supreme Court Justice Robert Houghwout Jackson. Justice Jackson was invited by President Franklin Roosevelt to serve in the New Deal government, first as general counsel to the Bureau of Internal Revenue, later as solicitor general and attorney general. He took his seat as a justice of the Supreme Court in the fall of 1941, and served until his death in 1954. Justice Jackson is best remembered for his wisdom, vigorous decisions, and for his role as America’s chief prosecutor in the Nuremberg War Trials. The decision to honor Justice Jackson with this lecture series was made by his friend and Supreme Court colleague Justice Tom C. Clark, one of the NJC’s founders.
