I’ve known Craig almost 30 years and this is the first I’ve ever seen him advertise.
I should have mentioned this a few weeks ago when the advertisements first started popping up on here, but these first few “advertisers” are not actually paying to advertise. Instead, they are helping us out while we work through and test various new ad functionalities on the blog. This is why we would appreciate it if you would all be nice to these local businesses as they help to support us through this process.
At some point in the not too distant future, the advertisement spaces will be open and available to everyone to bid on and advertise for two-week blocks.
In the meantime, if anyone else is interested in participating in this test-pilot program, please send us an email.
So that means all the clicks I tried to send your way didn’t actually cost anyone anything? Aw, dangit!
On the other hand, it’s good that your guinea pigs are genuinely good people.

From an aesthetic viewpoint, the design is way to, looking for the right words here, busy? cluttered?. I find it is not enjoyable as a read.
Thanks. Noted.
Thanks for your comment. We’re looking into potentially trying to integrate the ads in-line with the comments, but that’s a more involved process, so it might take some time to sort out. Thanks for hanging in there with us in the meantime!
IN the meantime, it might help the aesthetics if you replaced the “Ad Placeholder” with an image, say of the Scales of Justice or AI BK Hottie.
This is a brilliant suggestion!

Question for the group – I filed a case for a client, completed service, filed the affidavit of service, and filed the default.
It’s been almost 2 weeks and the default is still pending and isn’t showing up on the docket. Is that standard or do I need to follow up with the clerk or the department?
Which department?
Just to confirm – you filed the ex-parte request for entry of default, with an attorney affidavit; and then filed the default? I’ve had some departments kick back an app for default judgment when I didn’t do the notice of intent to take default, so that’s now in my process for all cases pre-default to avoid having to re-do the damn default. But that isn’t something I’ve ever had the clerk use as a reason to delay the entry of default.
I had one case with five defendants. I submitted the defaults for all five of them. The clerk issued 3 of them, then held off for a week before doing the other two, and those two defendants filed Answers through the same attorney before the defaults were rejected. Almost like the clerk notified them ‘btw, you’re being defaulted, probably should hire my buddy Attorney XYZ.”
Good point on the notice of intent, I’ll start adding that to my process too.
Do not follow up with the Department because they will tell you that there is nothing that they/it can do because you have submitted for a Clerk’s Default. That means the bottleneck is in the Clerk’s Office and the Clerk’s Office will have to find your Default to issue it. The sad fact is: the EJDC Clerk’s Office is brutally backed up. I have a Default that I submitted last Thursday that issued; I have a Default that I submitted on April 30 that is still pending.
I have in the past suffered a fit of pique and actually filed an Ex Parte Application/Motion for Entry of Default pursuant to NRCP 55(a) and asked the Department to have the Clerk who is sitting in the Courtroom issue my default. Is it proper? Probably not since NRCP 55(a) states that “When a party against whom a judgment for affirmative relief is sought has failed to plead or otherwise defend, and that failure is shown by affidavit or otherwise, the clerk must enter the party’s default.” It was me just blowing steam to get someone’s attention.
Well, I just did a small dive into “fit of pique” and I thank you for teaching me something new today 🙂
The Babylon Bee ad placeholder under “Bad Ad Placeholder” was a surprise this morning.
