What a mess the RJC is, who is in charge?
You need a tetanus shot every time you go down there.
Chief Judge is Linda Bell.
Judge Bell is kicking ass. She is reviewing chief judge complaints now after returning from a long week. She is the best.
Anyone have more info on the Seroka resignation?
Moving and shaking in the state senate. Senate Majority Leader Kelvin Atkinson to resign amid a federal plea deal for misappropriation of campaign funds. Sen. Nicole Cannizzaro is poised to become the state's first female senate majority leader. https://thenevadaindependent.com/article/senate-majority-leader-kelvin-atkinson-to-resign-amid-federal-charges-of-misappropriating-campaign-funds
Can't find the case on PACER but I'm also interested in details. Come on folks, this is what the blog is for.
Plus Seroka resigned yesterday amid rumors of misconduct. This is Nevada politics!
This is why it's important to choose leadership carefully, folks. You now have a first-term Senator as a Majority Leader. I think the world of Nicole, but as a Republican, I'm going to be very interested in what happens this session.
You will not read it until the information/indictment is unsealed. However this is a testament to the scumbags in the AUSAs who think that sealing does not apply to them and that it is OK to leak the information the Jeff German or the Indy. If you or I violated a sealed case, we would be hauled in front of the Court. For the USAO, it is just another day of the rules not applying to them.
11:38, what makes you think the source of the news was the USA's office rather than from fellow legislators who were informed of this earlier today?
Because this is not a one time thing. This happens with AUSAs all of the time. Informations are sealed. Newspaper has the story days before it is unsealed. Defense did not leak it. Did the Clerk's Office leak a sealed case? Not likely. AUSAs leak it to generate publicity and make their bona fides. And I was not on the inside of that office at one time and can tell you that that is the practice. You feel untouchable when you are there.
I was on the inside*

There is a judge who should be investigated for the same.
Only 1?!
Okay, all but 3-4.
I attended Supreme Court arguments yesterday. Two observations: 1. the Las Vegas court is hideous, and 2. Newly minted Justice Silver is not afraid to ask cranky questions.
Silver is in over head.
Silver went to Southwestern Law. It is not as good as Cadish's Penn.
Carolyn Ellsworth went to Southwestern, too.
My current lawyer went there. He is a stoner. I am firing him now. Who handles real estate matters?
Jsutice Cadish – Univ. of Virginia Law
I thought she was bragging about how she went to Penn, and it was better than where Tao went.
I'd brag if I went to Penn or Virginia. A regular Andy Bernard over here. Nard-dog.
Ginuwine is more impressed with her hunky Gene Wilder looking husband than Penn. My firm is hiring if he does media.
Trump went to Penn. He is smarter than Cadish.
"Trump went to Penn. He is smarter than Cadish."
This is a joke, right? Because we know that Trump's achievements are the result of merit and not the position and business he inherited, right? Trump is of very average intelligence.
I'd brag if I looked like Gene Wilder. A regular Willy Wonka over here.
And 8:23, you obviously know nothing about very good brains.
What is the best way to file a federal criminal complaint? Metro is a joke.
Be an AUSA?
Ask Judge Tobiasson. She apparently has very internal insight into how to get a criminal complaint when one thinks Metro is a joke.
Alexis Plunkett arrested again. https://www.ktnv.com/news/crime/las-vegas-lawyer-alexis-plunkett-arrested-again
Is that her updated mugshot? She looks unamused.
Looks like case number 19F04050X in LV Justice Court.
Show her some respect, that is an invitee to the Eglet 1880s invite only event only open to the must respected members of the legal community.
Alexis is my criminal defense attorney. She is the best. She brags about her personal connection with one of the newly elected judges to the supreme court. forget her name.
Silly Alexis. Intimidating or dissuading witnesses should only be done by professional, via Twitter. Preferably by coded references to their parent.
Who did she bring as her date to Eglet's party? Shall I check their Facebook Page or did they manage to omit her photos?
Go to her facebook page.
It sounds like she's become someone's project.
A bit random, but does anyone out there have that LCB-produced annotated law library that is advertised without fail on the back of the bar magazine? If so, are the annotations worth a damn?
I find the annotations to be of generally better quality and completeness than anything West or Lexis puts out–and a much better value, too. The annotations are prepared by the Nevada Legislative Counsel. They do a much better job of tracking relevant case law when statutes are recodified (think change in NRS section number) than any of the others do, so in that respect they are much more complete.
My only gripe with the LCB annotations is they tend to be several years behind on the most recent case law, though I suspect that may have more to do with the publication of the Nevada Reports being several years behind.
