On today’s episode of The Middle Ground Radio Show, Tom Letizia welcomes back Judge Greg Gordon, one of Nevada’s most influential voices in modernizing the family court system.

Judge Gordon opens up with personal reflections on growing up in Las Vegas, how the city shaped his values, and the early career experiences that prepared him for the bench.

From there, the conversation dives into major developments affecting families across Nevada — including the Nevada Supreme Court’s approval of his Informal Family Law Trial Program as a permanent statewide rule change. Judge Gordon explains how this innovative model streamlines cases, reduces litigation burdens, and helps parents resolve disputes more efficiently and respectfully.

He also previews a new professionalism initiative launching in January, bringing judges and attorneys together monthly to elevate civility, preparation, and courtroom conduct — a move aimed at improving outcomes for children and families.

Outside the courtroom, Judge Gordon discusses his ongoing work with Spread the Word Nevada, highlighting the critical link between childhood literacy, long-term success, and community well-being.

It’s a wide-ranging, insightful conversation with one of the most respected members of Nevada’s judiciary — blending personal stories, systemic reform, and a forward-looking vision for our courts.

A must-listen episode for anyone interested in justice, community, and the future of Nevada’s families.
