Biography

The Hon. Kerry L. Earley (Ret.) was a judge for the Eighth Judicial District Court in Clark County, Nevada. She was appointed to the bench by former Governor Brian Sandoval in 2012 to succeed the Hon. Kathy Hardcastle (Ret). Earley retained her seat in 2012 and 2014 but did not seek re-election in 2020.

She received a B.A. from Rockhurst University. Earley went on to earn a J.D. from the University of San Diego School of Law.

Prior to her appointment to the bench, she had worked as a private practice attorney since 1982. She practiced as a partner with Barker, Gillock, Koning, Brown & Earley (1982 to 1992) before opening her own law firm in 1993. Then, in 2007, Earley joined the Richard Harris Law Firm, where she practiced as of counsel until joining the bench.

During her tenure in private practice, she handled cases involving malpractice, premises liability, business litigation, high exposure, pharmaceuticals, and catastrophic injuries. Some of her notable cases include the MGM fire and Pepcon Explosion.

She also worked as a part-time law clerk for the U.S. Attorney's Office in San Diego from 1978 to 1979.
