Question on the blog: Did the most recent comments posting to the right disappear or change. I used to like that when pulling up the blog. Disappeared. No comments posted. Sometimes the comments were as good as the headline. Please advise. I think it was by "recent comments."

I've been having problems with my "recent comments widget" too. Probably some popup blocker type problem. I bet I could fix it if I knew a damn thing about computers. For now I just do without recent comments.

The "recent comments" heading is there for me, but it is followed by some javascript mess.

I heard a rumor that Nevada Business Magazine has been calling those who made the cut in Legal Elite this year and asking them to advertise. Any truth to this?

of course that is what's happening …. you don't think the magazine actually wastes its time and money figuring out who the "Legal Elite" are without some benefit to them in the end via additional advertising revenue.

You are elite in this town if you pay to advertise. Naqvhi is not a top lawyer.

I never heard of these calls coming in at the firm I was at. But it was obvious from the full page ads that Gordon Silver and Pisaneli Bice took out that some firms took that shit more seriously than others.

Yes, you can rely on the veracity of attorney's bought and paid for radio spots, tv adds, and bill board.

Well, well, well. It must be the legal elite telethon, I just received a call at my law firm to advertise. I am a good attorney, but not legal elite.

That is par for the course. My firm has several attorneys listed and we were already working out the size ad we would buy before the list was announced.

I've never advertised with them and I've been listed in both for the past two or three years. They use the list to then try to solicit advertisements, but not require them, if you're on the list. The only reason you'd advertise is if you want to include a big photo on a plaque in your office.

For Former Justice of the Peace Burr this is a pure money grab. Not that I blame him. He can "retire" and collect his judicial retirement, AND take the city salary.

It is great both in appearance and practice if you are a litigator. Did it in Law School. Did as a newbie. Did it as an experienced practitioner.

What is so great about it? I had always thought it was just a bunch of ass kissers and judicial asses. Maybe I am wrong.

I thought it was a great way to network. As a younger attorney, I met a lot of experienced attorneys and judges through the group meetings and actually got to spend significant time with them preparing our presentation. I wouldn't have run into these people through my normal practice. In the end I stopped participating because of the time commitment.
