TGIF! I apologize for neglecting my posting duties for the past few weeks. I have a good excuse, I promise, I just can’t tell you what it is..
Anyway, here’s a conversation starter from a tipster:
Has your firm come up with “creative ways” to conserve resources in these difficult economic times?
For instance, have the Friday afternoon happy hours been scaled back? Have discretionary bonuses dried up? Has the toilet paper in your bathroom gone missing? I have it on good information that the later was/is being considered by at least one local firm. Yikes!
And, in other [legitimate] news, the LVRJ just broke the story about a “major rift” between the U.S. Attorneys Office and the Clark County District Attorneys Office over the Nancy Quon-related construction defect/HOA criminal investigation.
Nancy Quon – big story
With David Roger and Dan Bogden in a catfight, the Quon case just gets better and better. Add Judge Leavitt, Tom Pitaro, and some peanuts, and the circus is compleyte
That picture of Nancy Quon in the paper yesterday was horrifying. I have not seen such marked dilapidation since the movie "Death Becomes Her" (yes I managed to sit through it).
More importantly, which firm in Vegas requires more than 2200 hours? That sounds awful.
Nancy was never what I'd call "hot"; but she was doable only a few years ago. She really looks like crap now.
She and I took the bar exam together years ago. It was easy to tell, even back then that she was going to do whatever was necessary to make lots of money. She fucked over a lot of people over the years. I've done well; but she's made a whole lot more than I ever will. I sure hope all the money was worth what she's going through now.
I've said this before but it's worth saying again – I hate hate hate the Bar's revamped website. Bar, will you PUHLEASE get rid of the graphics that make it so slow and make it so when I do an attorney lookup I don't have to scroll through pages and pages, then, once I find the one I want, have to click through two screens just to get the most basic information?
September 16, 2011 8:00 PM – Apparently we can all just pound sand. I was at the CCBA luncheon the other day; I'm kicking myself for not asking the State Bar President about it.
The SBN Website is a work in progress. It is not finalized and not set in stone. If you have questions or concerns, contact the SBN and tell them how you would like to see the website improved.
I am amazed by how soft the discussions are on this blog. Who the f*ck cares about the State Bar's web page. We should be talking instead obout the State Bar's impotent bar counsel.
What happened to all the people who were sharp and funny on WWL? Since the end of WWL, there has not really been a place to go for witty critique and commentary on our crazy little legal community.
There is tons of bizarre and intriguing stuff going on right in our neighborhood. District Court judges are fearing indictment for being involved with Nancy Quon. We are still the nation's Ground Zero for foreclosures. Pharmaceutical companies are being hit with nine-figure tort verdicts. The whole residential construction defect machine is undergoing radical change. The annual beer bash at Craig Kenny's is quickly approaching. Where are the comments?
@12:41 sounds rather authoritative and therefore, I suspect, SBN already knows many of the complaints about the new site. In case you don’t, @12:41, the new site is a horrendous waste of money from our dues and a terrible waste of time for the user. It is a little like most modern government buildings designed to compete with other self aggrandizing narcissistic entities more concerned with “award winning architecture” and less with a “judiciously economical use of taxpayer resources to create a useful, if somewhat drab, structure.” In short, the old one worked just fine and did not waste time or require a super computer to run quickly.
Dear 12:41 pm: please see previous comment at 8:00 p.m. Sincerely, 8:00 p.m.
1:03 – go ahead and let us know your profound thoughts. In the meantime, I will continue to be annoyed by the bar's website as it is something I have to use daily.
