If you care about affecting the outcome of SB 444, the Assembly Judiciary committee has a hearing on it tomorrow morning at 8:00 a.m. It will be video-conferenced to room 4406 at the Grant Sawyer office building and open for public comment. Even if you only say “what he said” after Marc Randazza (whose blog points out that nobody likes this bill) offers his comments, this is a chance for you to make a difference.
Never underestimate the importance of lawyers. Ticket sales for the Mayweather-Pacquiao fight were being held up over contract negotiations. Now you’ll get your shot at one of the limited number of tickets available to the public later today. [RJ]
Prosecutors indicted a disqualified assembly candidate on perjury charges. [RJ]
A jury awarded a Las Vegas show producer $440,000 in a breach of contract case. [RJ]
Attorney/Former Assemblywoman Lucy Flores is going to run for Congress. [RJ]
Here’s an opinion on judges who fundraise for election and then turn around and ask to be appointed to a different court. BTW, that is not a picture of our Judge Susan Johnson. [Las Vegas Tribune]
Sorry that we forgot to warn you that yesterday was Administrative Professionals’ Day. Did you do something special for the administrative professional in your life?
When I grow up, I want to be Marc Randazza. That guy is fucking awesome – if you've met him IRL, you know what I'm talking about. Boundless energy, highly skilled and a fine tuned sense of righteousness for the First Amendment and the little guy. Nevada is lucky to have him.

Today is take your kid to work day. A great learning opportunity for children. See, Chip, this is how daddy makes his living. I read. I write. I converse. I empathize. I think. Do you have what it takes to be an attorney, Chip?
On days like this I wish I was a cop. "Hey, son, see that derelict over there? He is about to make a "furtive movement" and then we are gonna taze him! Remember what I said, aim small, miss small."
I have to do a presentation to the kids about what lawyers do. I am going to show them a courtroom clip and then say, "We don't do any of that." Then I am going to give them all pen and paper and have them write an essay that is due in exactly 20 minutes. Then I am going to have them all hand them in on time and I will proceed to redline the shit out of them…..sometime next month.
11:01, you'll have it done just in time for next year's take your kid to work day.

Does anyone know who wrote the Tribune piece on Tao & Johnson? Did I miss the author/editor's name?

" I empathize."
What the fuck are you talking about?
I bring my kids to work, put them in the conference room, and then go in my office and lock the door. My staff gets to keep'em entertained.

Kids get violence. Writing briefs not so much.

I believe this was a follow up editorial from one months ago that Rolando wrote saying basically the same thing.
Susan Johnson sucks.
