Paradise Valley’s is the only voluntary judiciary in the state; the judges accept no compensation for their service.
The court has jurisdiction to hear all criminal misdemeanors, civil traffic offenses, and town code violations occurring within the town limits, as well as jurisdiction over orders of protection, harassment injunctions, and the issuance of arrest warrants.
Court Director Jeanette Wiesenhofer met with the Town Council on Sept. 14 in executive session to discuss the performance evaluations and survey results for current judges, according to a staff report. Based on the evaluation results, Wiesenhofer’s recommendation was to reappoint all the judges.
