Thanks, commenters- I honestly appreciate the constructive criticism regarding the state of the las vegas law blog.
I think I should start by acknowledging, if it wasn’t apparent already, that I’m not what most would consider a “typical blogger.” Put simply, I didn’t start this blog because I had some uncontrollable urge to share a pent-up cache of sweet legal musings with the world. Instead, I created this blog on a whim, mostly because I missed the connection I felt I had with the las vegas legal community when I would troll WWL and LVLL, and also because no one else seemed ambitious or interested enough to do it first.
Luckily, I am gainfully employed. The flip-side to my good fortune, however, is that I have little time to regularly amuse you all with creative posts. Realistically, I think I could probably muster a few decent posts a week, but I’ve been around long enough to know that most of you get bored with stale posts, and when you get bored, things go downhill fast.
All that being said, I can’t promise that this blog will ever compare to WWL or LVLL. And, while I did enjoy both, I am not looking to recreate either of them, for a lot of reasons. I do, however, have some ideas on where I would like to see this blog go, but I am also ready to admit that I could use some help in getting it there.
So, please consider this is an open invitation for a local attorney who has some extra time, creativity, and thinks they might like to contribute to this blog, to contact me.
Thanks for reading!
In response to a previous comment under a previous post, what is the best way for people to find the blog? While the posts are interesting, I can usually get that information somewhere else. What I went to Elle and the WWL blog for was the posts, good, bad and (really) ugly, the last of which I usually skipped. But still.
I think we could, until someone has time to really run the blog, treat each post as Open Post. To that end, I have a question. Was the article in the Sun about the PDs wanting to start a union accurate, or was that just some muttering in response to the DA's incessant whining about their workload?

Can someone start the list of best foreclosure/short sale attorneys?
Hey 8:10! The DAs are not "whining incessantly" about their workload. There are simply not enough of us. Much like you wouldn't want to be the final patient of a doctor who had done 20 surgeries that day, most victims of crimes don't want to be one of 300 cases a single deputy is handling. I'm pretty sure your tune would change if you or someone you loved became a victim of a crime that couldn't be solved or adequately prosecuted because of lack of resources.
Hey 10:39….all local government is going without the previous staffing that they enjoyed in the past, and most of the employees that were lucky enough not to get laid off are glad to have a job. No layoffs for the DAs, though–they are apparently "special".
also 10:39, STOP TAKING RAISES and then you will have the right to complain about the shortage of bodies
Actually the DAs office laid off a ton of support staff this past year so you obviously don't know what you are talking about. And yeah, that 1% raise really killed the office budget.
Another DA gave her two weeks.
