Time to fire up the BBQs and celebrate the start of summer! What are you doing this weekend? Staying home or hitting the road? Is your firm going to do summer hours this year? Perhaps a summer dress code? What else is going on out there?
Enjoy your weekend, but whatever you end up doing, be smart and don’t drink and drive.
Confidential help from a fellow lawyer is a phone call away
Toll Free: 866-828-0022
Any lawyer in need of confidential assistance with alcohol, drug, gambling problems, depression and stress: help is a phone call away. The LCL hotline will put you in touch with a peer who understands the issues of lawyers today. When you call, all you have to leave is your first name and telephone number, and someone with experience and who understands will call you back. You will be listened to with understanding and support by someone who will give you resources you may not know exist out there. One new benefit of this program is three free therapist sessions for support during stressful events. More details here.

Available 24 hours everyday
Told story here before. In late 90s I worked for firm. Tuesday after Memorial Day all told one of coworkers had both two small boys killed by drink driver over weekend. When he finally came back to work about month later his face looked survivor of Auschwitz. Please don’t drink and drive.
Isn’t this the week that study for the July Bar Exam traditionally begins in earnest?
U had to study?
If by “study” you mean “binge drinking”, then yes.
R. Wolfson raised more dough for muni court than NSC candidates do! LOL

Does that surprise you?
Well. I guess that locks that up. . . .
versus
Shannon Nordstrom, $22k
and
Rae “Carpetbagger – No Law Practice” Canady $4,832 (1/3 of it from herself)
Nepo babies gonna nepo. There’s no point in getting upset about it. It is what it is.
Based.
And its just as likely that she will be awesome as it is that she will be a nightmare.
It is not a new thing. Baby Leavitt is not a baby any longer. Nepotism has been around a long time.
You don’t necessarily want someone up there whose very first trial is one that they are presiding over. At least Rebecca has some courtroom experience. Nepo baby yes, but I think she will do fine.
Cry harder 2:30
How exactly is 2:30 crying?Just said nepotism is a thing, didn’t even complain about it.
Baby Bell was solid as was Joe Jr. So there are worse thing.
Nepotism, by definition, cannot apply to a popular election.
Don’t be obtuse. You know of what we speak when referring to nepotism in the courts.
Actually, I have no idea. I find it exceedingly predictable that someone raised by two lawyers, one of whom was a judge, goes on to be a lawyer and run for judge. To me, nepotism is when you get hired by Mom or Dad into a job regardless of whether you’re actually qualified or not. Should subsequent generations be barred from being judges or politicians just because their parents were judges and politicians?
Nepotism is the fund raising, among other things.
Your definition of nepotism is ridiculously narrow.
Or yours is ridiculously broad. Maybe the word you’re looking for is “privileged”. Check Merriam-Webster and find out.
Regardless how much money this candidate raised, the real question is: which candidate will Emerge Nevada support in this race? If memory serves, Ellie Roohani enjoyed a fundraising advantage over her opponents during the last cycle but the Emerge Nevada-endorsed candidate won.
Was the candidate with more money a nepo baby? Did she have $340,000?
Much to the dismay of the rest of us. Now we wait 90 to 120 days for hearings in that department instead of 30.
Summer dress code: no longer wear pants when appearing remotely.
Keep it neat and clean, No sundresses, No cargo shorts, No flip flops… No one wants to see your armpits or feet.
Unless armpits or feet are your thing . . . .
No judgment here.
Only when appearing remotely?
Dear Justice Court of Las Vegas Township: I know this will come as no surprise but you are broken. When we upload an Order on May 1 and (a) you charge us $4.64 just to submit an Order to the Court and then (b) you do not even acknowledge receipt of the document in your electronic filing system for 24 more days and then (c) it is going to another 3 weeks for the department to actually read the Order that was submitted on May 1 such that (d) there is only a 50% chance that the department will actually sign it, your system is broken. Not to file a signed Order mind you. Months just for your Clerk of Court to acknowledge that the Order was uploaded and to have the order wind its way through the system only to be rejected. This is ridiculous. Do better.
Take all civil away from the JCT.
