New Family Court judge a ‘team player’

Monday, March 8, 1999 | 11:15 a.m.

Henderson attorney Arthur Ritchie, who has been appointed by Gov. Kenny Guinn to fill a vacancy on the Family Court bench, said he sees himself as a "team player who wants to contribute to improve the reputation of the court."

Ritchie, 37, said he will emphasize making "timely and fair decisions" and will shy away from the counseling and social work approach that some judges take.

"I see (divorce proceedings) as one of the worst points in people's lives and understand the need for finality," he said.
