Sorry for the lack of posts this week, everyone. Next week I’ll be back at it again, I promise. In the meantime, what’s going on out there?
Also, does anyone have any thoughts on the three finalists for the EDCR seat left vacant by Jackie Glass? Apparently, Governor Sandoval will soon appoint the new judge from this list:
• Michael Davidson, 57, Las Vegas, with Kolesar & Leatham
• Carolyn Ellsworth, 56, Las Vegas, Nevada Secretary of State’s Office
• Adriana Escobar, 52, Las Vegas, Attorney General’s Office, Fraud Unit
Word is that Escobar is the "juice" selection. I feel sorry for the other two. However, I have heard that some incumbent judges (Mosley, Vega, Barker maybe?) might leave early or not run again, so there are other opportunities.
Pd is hiring.
Da posted appellate clerk positions. The current clerks will most likely be filling the recently posted deputy positions.
FYI: if you want to work for the da, you have to start as a clerk first, even if you've been practicing for years. There have been exceptions like when they are hiring so many deputies there aren't enough clerks to fill the spots or if you have a lot of prosecution experience in another jurisdiction but those exceptions are few and far between.
Good luck!
Escobar, who was formerly Escobar Chanos as in married to George Chanos–the attorney who replaced now Governor Sandoval as AG when he left to become a Judge. Right political connections; right demographic connections (Hispanic female). Davidson is a Democrat. Ellsworth….not even sure how she made the final 3.
