The July bar results came out yesterday and were pretty dismal with only a 57% pass rate. [Nevada Bar]
Governor Sandoval says Nevada will oppose en banc rehearing of the gay marriage case. [Fox5Vegas]
Did you ever wonder which Avvo highly rated lawyers were also Boyd grads? Wonder no more.
Family Court Judge William Potter is getting some negative attention prior to the election due to a ruling on what happens to a child when his gay mother is deployed and his father is in another state. [RJ]
An assembly candidate who was ruled ineligible to run, but remains on the ballot because of the timing of the ruling, could still potentially be appointed if she gets more votes than her opponent. [RJ]
Family Judge Vincent NOchoa's son was arrested for Heroin use a few days ago in Las Vegas (Event Number 141012-3116) and NOchoa used a favor to get him released (OR) and to have LVMPD try to cover up the incident. NOchoa is not a honest guy. —– Vote for Jason Stoffel in Dept. S
Stoffel commits perjury so who would make a better judge a liar or one that asks for favors. Stoffel is the poster child for corruption in the courts the late Jennifer Bolton caught him lying to a justice court judge hope the Nevada Supreme Court acts on his blatant perjury in a case before them who knows what lies he does in family court
Jason Stoffel lacks the maturity, poise and even temperament to serve on the bench. He is an embarrassment to himself and legal professionals in Clark County. He is petty, spiteful and cannot leave his emotions out of hus decisions. The Review Journal called him a clown and his own conduct over the course of his negative campaigning affirms this. What an abject loser.
Yes, ask Steve Sanson to hold the lube. Maybe you 2 could go for manicures or pedicures afterwards, and like each other's nail Polish choices on Facebook!
I like Vince, so I'm voting for him. As for Jason, I met him once and it was good to finally put a face the name. I always thought of him as an ass clown when I saw him in court, but I never knew his name before he introduced himself to me at the CCBA meet the judges event. While he may have said good things, I can't shake all the times I saw him around the courthouse and thought he was a bottom feeder.
You folks that post “Anonymous” either stand up for your convictions by voicing your opinions and come out of hiding or shut up. I can’t stand cowards! The Anonymous who took the poop shot about holding the lube. Could you please say that to my face?
Every time someone posts one of these ridiculous rants about the "cowards" who post anonymously and challenges them to "say it to his face"…I truly laugh out loud.
Who the hell is Steve Sanson and why should I care?

Potter is an old-school Las Vegas Mormon. He came up in the days when Mormons ran the town. If he sees an opportunity to take even a small strike at what he perceives to be the decline of the world caused by homosexuality, he's going to at least take a shot.
The appeal should be dismissed, and Mann should be sanctioned. Seriously. The only basis for the appeal is that Potter ruled against him (declining to modify the previous order), so there much be discrimination?
Judge Potter was quick to respond to the RJ article. I'm not sure it was wise to go that far in depth and provide copies of text messages involving the case to the paper.
Tribune endorsed Friedberg, what does that tell you?

Avvo ratings are just as big a joke as any of the other publications out there. There are some very simple ways to get your rating up if you know the tricks.
I guess 12:28 wasn't invited to the Desert Companion party…or whatever it is.

The personal attacks and the political comments need to stop. The Blog is a place for the sharing of news, knowledge, and facts. I wish the administrator would encourage folks to stay on point.
Please, are we in pre-k? We are all adults, and there is freedom of speech, so get a life!
This profession has the biggest bunch of losers in it, who lack morality. Most of statements on this blog I find to be true.
I was in a courtroom when Stupid Stoffel was trying to get a pro per guy incarcerated for exercising his rights to free speech what a bozo Jason was the case was thrown out the TPO was dismissed Stoffel does not understand freedom of speech and he is trying to become a judge WTF!

Go away.
my thoughts exactly. Why this guy thinks multiple, repetitive posts will have any effect is beyond me.

I early voted, and cast my ballot for Ochoa purely to spite these NOchoa maniacs…
Sorry, dude, but I am still voting for Ochoa.

Hey Jason: why don't you STOFF-el all of your poor sport whining straight up your @SS?

Yep, still voting for Ochoa!
I already voted for Ochoa on the first day of early voting.
Sanson is scary.
Just got back from early voting. I voted for MOchoa. Thanks Marcus Gomez.

Hey, Steve. You are quality!
Hey Steve, seriously, how can I unsubscribe from your veterans in politics email blasts? I freakin hate those things!

Jason commits perjury not only is he a lying clown he is a unethical clown

Someone please! Tell me where and when a step parent has custodial rights over a bio parent! Potter got it right.
Las Vegas Tribune? What the hell is this? I've never heard of this publication before, and I've been in town since 1985.
I did like the review of Judge Smith. That dude needs to go.
Tribune endorsed Friedberg, what does that tell you?

In other words you're not on the list. 🙂
