An ad run in the RJ for Judge Doug Smith just days before the election included supposed endorsements for five state agencies that don’t even do endorsements. Of course, Judge Smith has never seen the ad and his campaign manager Tom Letizia couldn’t remember all of Smith’s endorsements off the top of his head. [RJ]
Has there been so much media coverage on the HOA scandal to warrant moving the trial out of Las Vegas? [RJ]
Will the Supreme Court of Nevada issue a ruling on jurisdiction in the Uber case today? (It is case number 66875 for those of you interested in seeing the briefing.) [8NewsNow]
Here’s a reminder to be careful of what you write/post online, it could come back to haunt you later as it is for Ira Hansen, the Nevada Assembly speaker who just stepped down. [Las Vegas Sun]
Yes! I have tried multiple times dating back to a couple weeks ago and every time I try the calendar comes up empty.

Did anyone else see the very aggressive hostile protestor in front of the RJC this morning sporting Las Vega Black Panthers jacket? He was using an electronic bullhorn and a lot of F bombs and challenged some idiot redneck to step up and fight while I waited at the intersection. All happened in 30 seconds. He was standing on an American Flag. I would speculate it was a tie in to Missouri grand jury. I would also be shocked if he is not in custody now because of his aggressiveness, his language and overt hostility to the world. I mentioned "FREE HUEY" but that seemed to elude him and got no reaction at all from him.
The protester had the living sh*t beaten out of him seconds after you left. It was quite a spectacle. White guy got arrested, fire had to come down and check out the protester. Good times at the RJC
Anyway, what would the consequences of putting false endorsements in your campaign materials? Does the Secretary of State handle this issue? Should the ethics board give it a look? Do the organizations who he falsely named have infringement rights? I'm sure it'll all get swept under the rug, but I'm interested in what could happen if anyone knows.
Judge Smith's admission that he did not read the ad, is an admission that he violated Rule 4.2(A)(3) of the Code of Judicial Conduct. Pursuant to Rule 2.15(A) and (C), his fellow judges should report the violation of ethics.
My understanding is that the ad was put out by someone other than his campaign. I don't buy that he didn't read it, but is he responsible to read ads put out by someone else?
Are you responsible for reading something with your name on it? "Sorry Judge, I didn't read what my associate wrote although it has my name on it. Please don't apply Rule 11."
The first NYC bonuses for this year are out and ridiculous! http://abovethelaw.com/2014/11/bonus-season-comes-early-and-its-not-cravath/
Are people having trouble searching the court calendar on Odyssey?

Heard today from a Marshall that the protestor gave as good as he got and was also arrested.
Please, Flying Spaghetti Monster, let there be a YouTube video of this!
Doug Smith doesn't read the RJ. I don't either. That's the only thing we have in common. He still sucks.

I endorse Doug Smith

I feel like I'm talking to a defensive millennial right now. "It was my campaign, I didn't do it. I'm not responsible. Now I'll go take a selfie."
