Is anyone hiring, or know anyone who is hiring, a billing manager/case manager? I have a friend who is a back-end programmer, looking to switch to the legal field. He was with his last company for five years, so this would ideally be a long-term placement.
I’ve been working with him in CLIO, Tabs3, and Aderant. Some training from fellow staff would be helpful to learn your firm’s best practices.
If you’re interested, please drop me a way to contact you privately.

Boyd is just 25 years old, yet it already has multiple alumni convicted of or charged with serious crimes—like murder and pedophilia. (Telles, Castro, and Woodrum.) How many other law schools, especially so young, can claim such a troubling record among their alumni?
In Las Vegas, most disgraced attorneys tend to get caught up in fraud, scams, or trafficking—like Guymon, Beasley, Graham, Harris, Winkler, Levinson, Amesbury, and Brian Jones (none of whom are Boyd grads). But Boyd grads take misconduct to a far more disturbing level—crossing the line into violent crimes and child exploitation.
Boyd
My impression is that Boyd is working hard to move up in the law school rankings. The rankings are largely political in that academia is less important than social factors. A factor in the rankings is how many of those admitted graduate. In Boyd’s case, I think that if you are admitted you are pretty much guaranteed to graduate.
From posts here, some of Telles’ targets almost didn’t graduate. So maybe they should rethink their graduation strategies. There was also an anonymous Above the Law article a few years back about a Boyd alum who died by suicide. I don’t fully recall it though.
Cherry-picking a small number of individuals to generalize/criticize a law school with thousands of graduates over a 25-year period is lazy, ignorant, and irresponsible.
The top 20 students at any ABA Accredited law school are likely as bright and amazing as the top 20 students at any other law school. It is the bottom 20 students that weigh down a school’s reputation (and rankings).
That’s a bit off topic, but okay. I went to Boyd, and most of the people who graduated in the top of my class are now personal injury lawyers—billboard types—chasing $100 million cases that actually pay out but not quite getting there. Being a good lawyer doesn’t have anything to do with law school grades, and law school grades definitely don’t guarantee ethical behavior. Law school grades don’t really have much to do with anything.

Does the suspension now go to the Nevada Supreme Court, and if so, will they all have to recuse themselves?

Small update to the vexatious litigant discussion last week – a judge just issued an OSC why a pro se party shouldn’t be deemed a vexatious litigant, citing Jordan v State ex rel Dept of Motor Vehicles.
Not a win yet, but good to see judges taking the issue seriously.

Awful little league injury but I lean heavily toward assumption of risk in these kinds of cases. The timorous may stay at home.
Yeah but the kid wasn’t injured in the normal course of a game (which would be assumption of the risk). Allegation is the wrong base was used – it’s supposed to break away on impact (to prevent this kind of injury).
I mean, maybe a fixed base keeps someone from stealing 2nd, so that’s a defense.
I would say getting injured sliding into base is in the normal course of a game. You’re just saying the league was negligent in how it ran the game. You could make this argument in almost any case – “I didn’t assume the risk that you would inadequately coach the pitcher and then he hit me with a pitch”; “I didn’t assume the risk that you would allow a kid who was too big play in the league and he ran into me and hurt me”; etc.
I tend to agree. Also is the Little League not an occupier of the premises? I’m sure they pay a nominal fee to the public entity to lease the space. That would make them immune under NRS 41.510, no?

Re the Javier’s case: this is a textbook example of how hotel and security staff can make what might be a defensible case into an indefensible one that focuses on their bad behavior instead of what could easily turn out to be an otherwise defensible causation issue.
Interesting pair of notes in the SBN’s meeting digest. The Bar President went to a conference on your nickel and learned all about how to Leverag[e] AI to expand pro bono legal services.
Meanwhile, OBC is reporting a substantial increase in grievances written by AI slop.

at least you’re somewhat clever about it

Not a UNLV grad, and I agree. This is cheap, stupid and lazy.
The issue isn’t whether all Boyd grads are violent criminals. The issue is whether Boyd turns a blind eye to its students’ bad behavior.
Complete bullshit.
There’s no shame in needing medication and taking it.
Ted Bundy attended my law school. Boyd is certainly not alone.
U of U! U of U!
That’s because Bundy was waitlisted at BYU.
To be fair, BYU’s sociopath quota fills up pretty quickly. They probably didn’t have an extra slot for Bundy.
sociopaths with better grades already got in
But Bundy didn’t graduate.

Thank you. I went to Boyd and have done very well in my career.
So did Telles, Castro, and Woodrum

Law school grades have quite a bit to do with who lands at big firms at the beginning of their careers. After that, not so much.
F off with your Boyd hate. Boyd grads, particularly Class of 13, will continue to kick your ass in court.
Lets give a big cheer for the judicial 2020 class of clowns that we will undoubtedly reelect in 2026!
You tend to lose cases, don’t you?
Totally agree – 80 percent completely suck. That’s being generous.
I would be interested in who you think are the 20% who were passable from that class.
Then maybe you should run.

I was already fed up with my bar dues (and taxes) subsidizing the LACSN Empire a long time ago.

Floyd Money Mayweather sues local car dealer and uses Burbank immigration lawyer for suit?

No one has ever accused Mayweather of being smart
From the sound of it I hope the guy got a good retainer up front.
