First of all, wow. We really need to work Metro’s accountability to the public. Second, CCSD spends way to much settling and not enough on attorney fees litigating. Bar exam needs to stay how it is.

New case filed in California alleging Diddy parties took place at Wynn hotels:
Michael Ejiawoko 
v.
Sean Combs; Vici Properties Inc, a New York corp.; Wynn Resorts Limited, a Nevada LLC; Northwood Investors LLC, a Colorado LLC; John Doe Associates; Roe Entities

$10M – Autistic 6 year old kiddie-diddling teacher

Why are kiddies being allowed to diddle teachers and bus drivers?

Hmm.. I think the district needs better defense counsel. Even assuming liability, the settlements appear to be excessive.

The bus-driver molested four and five-year-old special needs students. How much do you think is an appropriate settlement?

I join in with others’ comments on Jennifer Ko Craft: she was a wonderful human being and a fantastic attorney. We lost a great one. My love to her family.

Thank you for your kind words. The other ones too. It is hard but we are going to be ok.

Just curious: do lawyers call the police when they need help? I had a bad experience with an officer once when I needed help.

Shocker, DA didn’t want to charge the officer so they presented evidence in a secret proceeding to ensure an indictment would mot happen and they would not be blamed.

At a party right before he banned him for life from Mara Lago and all Trump properties before reporting him to the Florida authorities. Never on the island. Never on the Lolita express. Must really suck to want a scandal so bad you ignore all the publicly available facts.

Weird that Trump is on flight logs to the island, but you claim he had never been there. We get you love Trump and he can do no wrong, but he is on the flight logs.

Domestic flights with his wife and children in the 90’s. Trump never said he didn’t fly with or on Epstein’s plane, and he admitted to being friendly with him for 15 years. Both New York rich guys. When he discovered what Epstein was he banned him and reported him. Clinton kept going to the island, as did a long list of celebrities and politicians. Are they all bent? Probably not. But the fact remains. No one puts Trump on the Lolita Express or the island. You think the Democrats would not have released that information in the 4 years they had total control? There are lots of things to point fingers at Trump for. This isn’t one of them.

Bill Clinton isn’t president. Trump is. If there’s nothing to hide, and everyone knows about Clinton anyway, release the files.

Trump didn’t dump Epstein. Epstein dumped Trump “because he is a crook.”
https://www.yahoo.com/news/jeffrey-epstein-said-stopped-hanging-131500803.html
And the unreleased (probably already destroyed) files and/or proper investigation will put the Pedo Prez on the Lolita Express and on Pedo Fantasy Island and committing pedophilia in numerous other locales.

Trump says they are not friends because he took employees, not that he likes young girls. You keep talking about Clinton like people care. If Clinton had sex with young girls, then lock him up. The problem with Trumpers is you always have an excuse and believe he can do no wrong.

Why is this crap on a blog about Las Vegas law? There are thousands of other blogs or FB groups where each side can throw BS political crap on each other, and I avoid as many of them as possible, including both political sides’ various “news” organizations.

Other than the whole “call a bank and pretend I’m the defendant” bit that the “asset location specialists” do?

On Demand Bar Exam??
There are two classes of people who would benefit.
1. The state bar. No need to actually plan a test, find a location or proctor. In my view this is just a way to make bar employee’s jobs easer.

2. Examinees that would not otherwise be able to pass a written exam. Note that any remote testing, on-demand or scheduled, that is not proctored guarantees cheating. Cheating could be anything from calling a friend, using notes, or copying and pasting standard phrases and definitions, or having a second computer on the desk to get answers from AI.

Per 2:

You clearly don’t have testing-aged kids. Online exam taking is paired with AI-controlled and mandatory camera-enabled proctoring which flags a ton of things, to an obnoxious degree. My daughter took a summer class to get ahead, and was flagged for potential misconduct because someone had a TV on 3 rooms away.

I’ll bet someone in her class has figured out a way to cheat.
