Maui
No. Not another expensive all expense trip paid for bar officers on the member’s back.
Please stop the nonsense. When you next vote for officers, vote only for the one who pledges to not spend the money out of state and have the annual Nevada State Bar Conference in NEVADA.
Join a section, volunteer and help the legal community. You will then have a chance to attend with a stipend. The balance of the coat can then be written off.
Sounds like BOG doesn’t take their duties as fiduciaries of our bar dues seriously. A Maui boondoggle? C’mon man, that’s bs. These 🫏🤡 need to be replaced.

TBH.. if I were choosing a location knowing I would receive a free vacation out of it, I would have also chosen Maui..
Firms are private businesses. The bar is not. And the NV bar does not have an office in Maui. I would make an observation about the quality of your post but then I would get thwacked.

Looking for referral for business side OSHA defense, to address some claims of dangerous conditions. Any recommendations?
If the judge has a bent towards one side or the other. There are cases that are simply too complex to go to a judge (even though you think it is a coin flip in front of those departments). For example I have had complex corporate real estate cases that have ended up in 3, 14 and 24 that I would peremptorily challenge complex cases out of those departments because the $450 will get eaten up in case management. If I needed immediate relief I would preempt 25 who I like as a judge but just cannot count to move quickly.
Family court isn’t a real court, the judges are fake, the parties are marginally human and the attorneys all graduated from Western Samoa University School of Law.
In real court (not family kangaroo court) it depends on the issues in your case sometimes. If I have a piece of shit client I may try to avoid Susan Johnson, where as in other cases I think she is great. Some Judges you don’t care and are excited to get them on any case as they are solid Judges. I am not a fan of Reynolds on certain PI cases, but in other issues he seems fine. You just have to be careful you may get someone worse.
Pengilly standing up for free speech (Randazza, where are you?), calling out OBC, saying for the record what a lot of attorneys have said privately about Dennis Prince. (It takes one to know one, right Jimbo?) I’m kind of rooting for Pengilly now, though. Gotta respect the cajones.
What relationship, other than possibly temporal, does what Pengilly said have to what went down with Dennis Prince? Prince didn’t blow his own brains out. There isn’t a connection. Please explain this to me.
For what it’s worth, the actual idiom is “knock yourself out”; but even what Pengilly actually said doesn’t warrant Bar involvement.
Don’t know Pengilly and don’t care to meet him. Sounds like one of the jack holes that sucks the life out of practicing law. Skimmed through most of the “Filed Record of Bar Proceedings Volume I – III” on the Nevada Supreme Court website.
I would opine:
1. Pengilly should have received more than 6 months and a day for flashing his piece back in 2017-2018. Additional comments in that regard would probably get thwacked.
2. Who hasn’t mismatched their idioms? Brain scientist – Rocket surgeon in place of Brain surgeon – Rocket Scientist. In fact, the leader of the free world recently gave a speech at Ft. Bragg wherein he said the prior leader of the free world was never the “sharpest bulb.”
3. A number of people in Affaire de Pengilly need to check their egos and at least one might want to get some counseling.
4. Five years and a day seems way outta line for being your garden variety Clark County jack-hole attorney.
reading the deposition transcripts that are part of the record is a master class on the asshatery that should not be allowed. This guy should not have a privileged license to practice law.

I want to go to Maui. But I’d prefer to go to Maui with my family, not for a work function.
Would you feel the same way if the work function didn’t cost you a penny personally?

Has anyone ever rented out a home or know someone who did? If so, you are probably familiar with the “games” played by some people to get out of paying rent.
Being tenant-friendly is one thing, but attempting to seal a potential tenant’s eviction history from a potential landlord is twilight zone stuff.

People at big law firms – what has been your experience in trying to have the firm pay for these out of state bar conferences?
I never had to join anything and firm paid for the conference a day travel. I never thought twice about it.
Join a section, volunteer and help the legal community. You will then have a chance to attend with a stipend. The balance of the coat can then be written off.
That stipend is paid for by other lawyers. You are not proposing to beat the bad actors; you are proposing to join them.
I wonder if they are going to stay at the Grand Wailea where rooms are $700-$1,000 bucks a night.
The biggest expense is always the hotel room. Discount rate makes a huge difference for a 4 night stay.

Board members with national firms also get a free trip to visit their firm’s offices in D.C., NYC, wherever .

Do the conditions involve bed bugs. If so, I might know someone.
He’s not your bed bug lawyer…
What are some reasons you would file peremptory challenge on a judge? $450 isn’t nothing.
I’ve never filed one. $450 is nothing and would not factor into my decision at all.
If the judge has a bent towards one side or the other. There are cases that are simply too complex to go to a judge (even though you think it is a coin flip in front of those departments). For example I have had complex corporate real estate cases that have ended up in 3, 14 and 24 that I would peremptorily challenge complex cases out of those departments because the $450 will get eaten up in case management. If I needed immediate relief I would preempt 25 who I like as a judge but just cannot count to move quickly.
One reason would be, it is assigned to Jessica Peterson.
She is one of the judges I would never ever exercise a challenge. Always prepared.
If the case involves a question of law and the judge doesn’t know the difference between a question of law and a question of fact.
The judge accused another member of the bar of performing sexual acts on her client….
Which Judge are you saying did that?
peremptory challenges can make or break a case in family court.
Family court isn’t a real court, the judges are fake, the parties are marginally human and the attorneys all graduated from Western Samoa University School of Law.

What about hiding the potential landlord’s shady history? AB201 would have sealed the eviction case where the landlord lost.
I don’t think it should be sealed in either direction. Bad landlords and bad tenants should both be exposed to prevent future harms.
