Before you threaten to go to the State Bar against your opposing counsel for leaking to the press, get your facts straight.

The article is missing any information about a threat to report counsel to the bar. Care to elaborate?

I forgot that you have to register for the site.

“Herbolsheimer further alleged This Is Reno called Keyser-Cooper right after Jager was deposed. ‘Bob Conrad called Plaintiff’s counsel right after Officer Jager’s deposition, even though there was no public record of the deposition having taken place, and Plaintiff’s counsel told him that she had just filed a new pleading with the Court,’ [Hebolsheimer] alleged. Herbolsheimer said the Nevada State Bar should investigate Keyser-Cooper.

‘In light of the foregoing, Officer Jager respectfully requests the Court to consider referring this matter to the Nevada State Bar for further investigation of potential violations of (attorney rules about trial publicity), if the court determines that additional investigation is warranted,’ she wrote.

Herbolsheimer’s allegations are false. The information this reporter used for the January article came from the documents Herbolsheimer was responding to.”

“This is Reno” sounds like an NBC sitcom that airs at 9/8 central

Does anyone know why the arbitration rules are not updated on the legislators website?? These are from 2023: https://www.leg.state.nv.us/courtrules/RGADR.html

Because they don’t update that site except about every 24 months. It really is a travesty that the State of Nevada cannot publish up to date rules and statutes.

It takes a while to update. THAT SAID –
PSA: THE ARBITRATION CAP IS NOT $50,000 ANYMORE, PLEASE STOP REQUESTING EXEMPTIONS ON YOUR $65,000 CLAIM BASED ON THE AMOUNT.

DA no longer has the 5 trial rule. The new DAs do NOT go to trial. They keep saying they do. They simply do not.

They’re making 200,000 working half days four days a week.

So true. Even David Rogers did not enforce the 5 trials a year rule. The DAs only go to trial when they absolutely balls to the wall have to which is not often at all.

The 5 trial rule was David Roger’s rule, and he most certainly enforced it. If you didn’t have 20 trials in your first five years you did not make Chief, and you were likely put on a nearly impossible to complete performance improvement plan. Maybe try knowing things before talking about them.

Wouldn’t 20 trials in 5 years be a 4-trial rule?

Rogers has been gone for 8 years. Morale at the DAs Office was not the best under his stewardship. It is not better today. The DA’s office is scrapping the bottom of the barrel. They can’t even get good applicants or folks working there. There are DAs who have not done 5 trials in their whole career. There are some DAs that like to go to trial and they end up in Major Violator Unit or other units. These are few and far between. The DA’s find ways to dump cases. They overcharge and plead cases way down. It is almost like getting away with murder sometimes.

New DAs don’t make 200K. 200K is like the cap for chiefs. Just stop.

As a family law attorney, I have averaged 8 trials per year for the past 20 years. One July it was 5 trials in one month. Sometimes in TPO Court, the discovery commissioner makes us do an evidentiary hearing at the extension hearing. Family court is a completely different beast than criminal court.

family court bench trials which often involve pre-trial depositions are nothing like criminal jury trials with no depositions!

Certainly not the judges with sour grapes over having to face campaign season.
