Newsweek:
'Lady Trump' Appointed to Oversee Court Cases Hopes to Become a Lawyer

A Nevada Republican who has been described as "Lady Trump" has been appointed to serve as a justice of the peace in the state, a role that will allow her to oversee certain court cases even though she lacks a law degree.
Michele Fiore, a former Las Vegas city councilwoman who made an unsuccessful bid to become Nevada's state treasurer this year, was unanimously chosen by Nye County commissioners to fill the seat left vacant by Justice of the Peace Kent Jasperson, who died in August. She will serve in Nye County's Pahrump Justice Court—the driving distance between Pahrump and Las Vegas is about 64 miles—through 2024.
Though she does not have a law degree, Fiore said she intends to become a licensed attorney, The Nevada Independent, a news and opinion website, reported.
. . .
"I've spent my whole life fighting the establishment," Fiore said in the ad. She describes her "three-shot plan" for the state if elected, pulling a pistol from her hip and firing at three beer bottles labeled "vaccine mandates," "critical race theory" and "voter fraud."
