Dead blog
Bar is going to email well-being survey to about 70% of the Bar, randomly. Supposedly. Everything confidential. Supposedly.
Survey Question 1: Name.
Response: “My name is Fuck You.”
Why 70%? For a good statistical sampling, way fewer are needed. If 70%, then why not 100% for hardly any more effort or expense.
SBN continues to confuse me.
IN RE: DISCIPLINE OF TY M. MAYNARICH (BAR MATTER), No. 90914:
https://caseinfo.nvsupremecourt.us/public/caseView.do?csIID=72417
Filed Petition of the Southern Disciplinary Board to Determine Competency Pursuant to SCR 117(2). Confidential per SCR 121. (SC).
See what y’all started here?
Oughtta be ashamed . . . .
Can’t a guy just sometimes need to file some weird shit on occasion? Sheesh.
He promised not to beat up an old man who stole his Kirkland chicken.
Hellloooo . . . .
It’s called a metaphor.
Tongue in cheek much?
He didn’t steal it. He opened the bag and dumped the juices and grease to the bottom of the fridge
And the Plaintiff ended up with grease on his hands. The horror!
#teamcostcochicken
Maybe he went all in on AI for his drafting?
LMAO.
Using the “Unhinged Comedian” setting in GROK!
HELL of a defense and I am here for it!
Make this shit public NOW!
To the Blog Poster last week who said this is not how SCR 117 and SCR 118 work, once again– that is exactly how those rules work.
Petition is filed by the disciplinary board, not office of Bar Counsel. Yes, that’s how the rules work.
Peterson goes on the record to say appointed judges were all politically juiced in.
screw the judicial canons!!!
So she means they went through a competent evaluation process that wasn’t determined solely on gender or whether your last name starts with A?
Better a political juicefest than a sadly oblivionite electorate.
She is nice socially, mean in court.
Where did she say this?
One of the worst on the bench. Feckless.
DAs running in 2026: Agnes Botleho, Nell Christensen, Laura Rose Goodman, Sarah Overly, Jennifer Clemons, Hilary Heap, Colleen Baharav.
Justice of the Peace Cruz and DeMonte also running for District Court.
I believe a couple of these candidates would likely have the requisite demeanor for the position. But it really underscores the need for qualified civil practitioners. But unfortunately the most qualified would likely be taking a significant pay cut, worse hours, and a hell of a lot more workplace drama and criticism of the public and the distinguished members of our anonymous blogsite.
Nell Christensen is brilliant and she would be an excellent judge.
She’s smart no doubt. But sadly she hasn’t handled a case in over a decade. Just been a cruise director training new deputies. Which from what I’ve seen is not going well.
She’s probably making 200k right now with a job that doesn’t require litigation and the stress that comes with it. I don’t think I would trade that for a district court spot. Maybe a justice court position.
Reynolds is the best.
He is. The best. His tentative ruling are the best.
In his own mind.
Is there a rule about attorney attire in court? I seem to recall that there used to be a rule requiring male attorneys to wear a jacket and tie, but that the rule recently(ish) changed to just ‘professional attire’ and not specifically a tie.
I can’t find anything online about this, am I just old and misremembering?
Hey, let us not demean the judicial process by showing up in cut offs and a tee shirt. We are lawyers, all of us worked very hard to become an attorney. Informality has gone too far.
I agree. I dress up in the office.
Not this cat!
When I am out of court, tie and jacket comes rights off and left in the car.
If I am not meeting with clients or in court, its shorts (March to October) and a button up or gold shirt (golf course attire).
EDCR 7.72 for anything but family court; EDCR 5.217 for family court. All persons appearing in court “must be properly attired as befits the dignity of the court.” https://www.leg.state.nv.us/courtrules/EighthDCR.html
This rule previously required a jacket and tie for male attorneys. During the summer months, some judge suspended the jacket requirement.
Maupin suspended the requirement.
A few weeks ago an opposing counsel appeared for a divorce (asset/debt/alimony) trial without a tie. The judge told him he was disappointed and that he should wear a tie next time, but we moved on. ~10 years ago, one of the bankruptcy trustees refused to allow attorneys to participate in 341 meetings without a suit and tie. Now they just want to make sure the client doesn’t appear on 341 zoom videos laying down in their bed under the sheets unclothed, and the attorney at least has a top on.
