So far, I’ve only seen Department X post its Zoom link.

Why do I now have to cut and paste a docket number instead of accessing NSC decisions through a link? Why do I have to take the extra step of entering my email in order to download a filed or served document? If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.

Brutal SNL not knowing the difference between a law clerk and a bailiff, and not bothering to show video from both angles. Of course, it’s a comedy show that’s only funny 1/3rd of the time.

Where else can a mediocre lawyer from a third-tier school put up a few billboards and become wealthy?

Hell nah man, I’m staying here in Vega$.

My problem with it was that it was not funny. In what world is it funny to watch someone commit a crime of violence against another person? The laughter was just nervous patter of people wanting to laugh but it not being funny.

I love classic SNL. It wasnt funny. The audience did not appear to disagree as the laughter during the sketch was limited

It’s the inverse relationship between finding something funny and age: the older one gets, the less funny things become. And get off my lawn!

Did you ever once even chuckle at any of the 5,000 shots that show took during the OJ Simpson affair?

Tragedy plus time equals comedy.

Snark aside, the Washoe piece was interesting. I can’t imagine any sane human wanting to work in the election department or as Registrar in this environment. Or the library board for that matter.

Me. Snowplow driver at $14 something. At least I won’t have any office drama in my truck, no heckling from the court, opposing counsel or clients. Peace.

But… very early mornings, 12-hour shifts, plowing snow in the middle of nowhere Nevada… $14 an hour is too low. That’s the single biggest reason they’re having trouble filling the positions.

“Public invited to provide input on finalist candidates for family court hearing master position.” For the first time ever, there is a judicial position and I have never heard of any of these candidates.

It’s really annoying that we now have to enter our email address each time we want to download served/filed documents.

Federal courts have had the one-free-look link in emailed NEFs figured out for decades. It would be nice if the Nevada courts affected could explain why they’re taking this giant step backward.

Here’s a minor question: Say you e-serve something to all the counsel on a case. Then you open it and download it after entering OC’s email address. Does the e-file receipt show OC opening it, or you?

Aren’t the download links unique and tied to the email address to which the link was sent? If not, that’d be brilliant way to falsify a record.

Not sure it would much matter since e-service through the court’s system is presumed complete upon submission, unless the serving party learns service did not reach the party being served. NRCP 5(b)(2)(E). It would only be a problem if the party claimed to have not received it.

The link is specific to the email address to which it was sent. Entering the email appears to be them wanting to double check that the person knows what their email address is. It does keep people from posting links to those documents directly to those not involved in the case or forwarding the email with the link (which is the only logical reason I can come up with for this ‘enter the email’ late addition.)

If they’re worried about link abuse, why not just make the link expire after some short period of time? Or make the link expire once it’s been used once?

That’s what works with ECF, so yes I don’t disagree with that. (usable once.) In my BK practice, the software I use saves all of the one-look PDFs for me; something I’m hoping someone would develop to use with Tylertech’s system since it’s pseudo prevalent nationwide.

I hear the DA is shaking in his boots at the thought of having to try this case against Telles. It shows that the madman theory where you act so crazy the other side doesn’t know what you will say when you take the stand in your own defense might be working for Telles. Genius.

All of these “Telles is a genius and is gonna win” reminds me there are some people here who owe a testicle dinner for a lost bet.
