Berquist v. Dist. Ct. (The Las Vegas Philharmonic)

Summary

The Nevada Supreme Court denied Anne Berquist’s petition for a writ of mandamus seeking the disqualification of Judge Susan Johnson, holding that the district court correctly applied the objective reasonable‑person standard for judicial bias and that Berquist failed to meet her burden of proof. The Court noted that extrajudicial knowledge alone does not create disqualifying bias and affirmed the lower court’s decision.
