Judicial Innovation on the Air: From DAAY Milestones to a Bold Candidacy

In today’s edition of Middle Ground Radio’s continuing judge series, we spotlight two trailblazers reshaping justice in Las Vegas. First, Judge Sunny Bailey shares her unwavering commitment to community service—from complex civil litigation to her pioneering role as Hearing Master in the Family Division. Notably, her creation of the Detention Alternative for Autistic Youth (DAAY) Court, the nation’s only diversionary program for autistic youth, has reached a significant milestone with the graduation of its 100th participant. We then welcome Amanda Pellizzari, a seasoned attorney with 17 years of experience across both civil law and criminal defense, who is now stepping into the political arena as she announces her candidacy for Municipal Court Judge. Her extensive courtroom experience and dedication to fairness and efficiency promise to bring fresh perspectives to the judicial system.
