Kimber L. Laux

Kimber was born and raised in Las Vegas, Nevada. She graduated from Clark High School’s math and science magnet program in 2011 and earned a dual-major Bachelor of Arts degree in Journalism and Sociology from UNLV in 2015. Kimber began working at the Las Vegas Review-Journal in 2013, where she reported about local crime and the courts, including harrowing stories of child abuse and neglect. Her time as a reporter inspired her to become an attorney and represent her fellow Southern Nevadans.

Kimber attended the William S. Boyd School of Law at UNLV while continuing to work part-time at the Las Vegas Review-Journal. In the summer of 2017, she worked as a law clerk on civil rights cases and interned for the Honorable Judge Jerry Wiese. During the summer of 2018, she worked as a law clerk at the ACLU of Nevada, where she helped advocate for the humane treatment of prisoners, taught community classes about civil rights restoration, and helped protect the rights of the city’s houseless population.

While at Boyd, Kimber was an executive board member of PILA and OutLaws (a law student organization focused on LGTBQ advocacy), and was a member of Immigration Law Society, the Organization of Women Law Students, and the Health Law Society. Kimber co-instructed a weekly Paternity and Custody course at UNLV, and she also worked for the Family Justice Clinic as a student attorney, litigating cases related to guardianship, adoption, and Special Immigrant Juvenile Status.

In 2019, Kimber obtained her Juris Doctor from Boyd, receiving awards for her work in the Family Justice Clinic.

Kimber was licensed to practice law in Nevada and the U.S. District Court for the District of Nevada in 2019.
