“I love you!”
Good times.

da faq was he thinking?
I will be honest- I have made this mistake on ZOOM and telephonic hearings because the people who I speak with the most on the telephone are spouse and kids and that is how we end our calls. Doesn’t make it right but it does at least make it understandable to me how that could slip out.
If he was in “this lady who I respect is not going to acknowledge a single word I say, and I just need to shut off my brain and continue to say sorry” mode…I think ending the call with “I love you” is pure muscle memory. I get it.
One of my greatest fears in life is that I will slip up and end oral argument “In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.”
Took me years after leaving the church to stop this one
looking forward to working with these FLE lawyers*
76%. Gross.
I’m confused. Are you saying that it’s gross that 24% of law students can’t pass a basic exam that is several orders of magnitude easier than the bar exam that 100% of current lawyers had to pass? Or is it gross that 76% of students passed this easier exam when around 20% of them would likely not be able to pass that harder exam if they had to take it? And why use the word gross, i.e. disgusting or repulsive, rather than “sad” or “disgraceful?”
76% is really high. The last bar exam results were 56%, 62%, 46%, 65%, 49%. Granted this is a small portion of the bar exam, but still.
It is part of the liberal academic plan that our SC bought into to make the bar exam “inclusionary” by making sit o easy to pass that everyone can become a lawyer. The drafters for the next exam are working so that the bottom 24% will also pass.
Maybe NSB will eventually just require the applicant to send in three Wheaties box tops and a check to be admitted.
Lowering standards and cheering higher numbers is also the way CCSD operates. Good work everyone, congratulations!
No, they will take a piece of paper that says “Congrats you passed the Nevada Plan Bar Exam” and press copy then mail it to everyone. Actually, I heard the new Nevada Plan will not have a pass or fail list like the used to. This way they can not shame anyone. They will giving the FLE four times a year and then the P/Ts twice a year. There will be no pass/fail to list for everyone to see along with pass/fail rates. I heard this from the law school and the State Bar. What a doozie of a bar exam. This will definitely dumb down our profession. Cheaper a Nevada bar license which used to mean something. The real estate exam is more comprehensive than the bar exam. My goodness. On top of all this, they kept reforming the old legacy bar exam that only the dumbest most ignorant applicants failed to pass. The cut score was lowered. The grading was eased up. I have seen students who showed me their essays where they did not even fully answer the question and got passing scores. I kid you not. I hope I am wrong but I fear I am not.
Will not have a pass or fail list like they used to. (Correction). They will be giving the FLE four times a year. (Correction). Long comments are hard to edit and correct.
Cheapen a Nevada bar license. (Oopsy).
Beside the mailing you mention, don’t forget the check. The bar always wants a check.
Congrats and sympathies for those that passed. They will always have a question about whether they measured up. Self doubt, could they have passed what was once one of the toughest bar rxams in the country?
When your malpractice insurance premium triples five years from now, think back to this moment.
and the one they just announced the results for (July 2026 – the last of the MBE/essay exams for NV) had a 50% pass rate. That is really low for a July administration, maybe the lowest ever.
I’m going to need to see this “mechanical penis” before I can form an opinion.
There is a picture of it in the story.
Did not see and could not find.
I wonder how stiff the opposition to this lawsuit will be.
i like how TNI doesn’t allow comments on that article. Ralston is such a partisan hack
As a former DAG, I will confirm that the furniture they had at Grant Sawyer was ancient. The new furniture and window coverings (for a new building mind you) were necessary. I cannot confirm they were of a quality befitting the cost however.
yeah, well imagine the savings to taxpayers if they had just slapped up a few rolls of aluminum foil up instead.
This is how I know I’m low class. I’d have just sent the boys down to Lowe’s and gotten some blinds.
Interestingly they could have done so with the Home Depot punch out contract. And gotten a rebate on it too.
Does not matter. Was Ford ever seen in his office.
oh so you worked with him.
It makes me laugh to see teachers accusing a non-teacher of having too much time off.
TNI does not allow any comments on Fact Check posts. Know before you post.
yes, and that is why this article was purposely written as a fact check.
How many air fresheners do I need to get rid of dead body smell?
– Asking for friend
“new curtains for Attorney General Aaron Ford’s office?”
It is a cover up.
Were the drapes before or after they left Grant Sawyer?
Does the carpet match the drapes–just asking for a friend
MAGA up in arms over $20,000 for drapes, but fine with $20 million for commercials saying the President is great.
Hmm … apples and oranges
When does Keampfer Crowell have to respond to Miller’s complaint?
Do you even lawyer, bro?
Maybe @1:50 is one of the 76 percenters that passed?
Kind of tied to the video from a certain judge about making a record:
https://acis.nvcourts.gov/portal/court/dc01122c-a19d-4eb7-bfe9-5b96e93c26fd/case/b55722dd-c904-4306-a152-26a845d91d78
“The district court [Egan Walker] shut down Carvalho’s argument three times, ultimately sanctioning defense counsel with a $500 fine and refusing to provide defense counsel with guidance about permissible argument. These reprimands chilled Carvalho’s argument that Regina was an alternative suspect, evidenced by the fact that defense counsel did not mention Regina for the rest of closing argument. Because the court’s admonishments effectively removed Carvalho’s primary theory of defense from the jury’s deliberation, we reverse the judgment of conviction and remand for a new trial.”
For some reason, I just started thinking about the BK hottie.
Is every judge at NJA? Why do they even go?
Literally only for the gram
Complaint filed Monday. Its Friday at 6 pm. Summonses remain “Under Review”. Writs of Execution from September 2, 2026 remain “Under Review.” I know we just changed Clerks of Court but things are unacceptably slow.
