As some of you mentioned yesterday in the comments, the State Bar of Nevada has sent out survey emails about reciprocity in Nevada, so check your inboxes if you want to voice your opinion.
Serious response I think the people who fear reciprocity on protectionist grounds miss this point. While you will have more Nevada attorneys, lots will leave as well if they can easily move to another state.
Dean Dan, who doesn't practice here, has no personal skin in the game and pulls down $400k a year in federal student loan / tax dollars. Dean Dan, who is willing to sacrifice the well-being of the many for a marginal bump, if at all, in the US News & World report rankings. Dean Dan, who all the while, lectures us about "doing right by Nevada." Dean Dan, who is an itinerant academic administrator and will not have to live with the consequences of reciprocity. Dean Dan, who no-one should listen to.
At 3:46: what does his salary and position have to do with the merits of his stance on this issue? Will you be adding substance to your comment, or are you content with blowing hot air?
Not 3:46, but here's my interpretation: Dan wants reciprocity because it might potentially make Boyd more appealing as a local law school, increasing applications and bumping USN&WR ratings. You see, Law School Deans live and die by those ratings. They don't live and die by the success of a law practice. So, even though small law firms (the majority of firms out there) may be hurt by reciprocity, Dan doesn't care because Dan doesn't practice law. He can pat himself on the back, secure a bonus, and go back to demanding his faculty get published on their ground-breaking studies on intersex navel gazing. It goes towards his bias.
Huh? … why would you want to allow people to practice in Nevada who can't pass our bar exam?
Consider the quality of practice you see in the community now – very good to OMG.
-Now imagine the quality of practice if attorneys are allowed who come from states where bar exam passage is almost a guaranty.
I for one would like to see more specificity concerning the reciprocity proposal. Are they proposing a system more similar to what already exists as part of our bar exam, the multi-state and MPRE components, where the entire exam is the same questions in all 50 states (each state being allowed to determine the score required for passing). Or rather, a system wherein once the person passes one state, regardless of score required for passage, all other states must grant them a license upon request.
In addition to the exam portion, would there be a practice requirement for admission by reciprocity, similar to Texas's admission by motion, or would admission be automatic regardless whether the applicant just passed the initial state last week.
Would the admission be automatic or by motion requiring the secondary requirement of passing the background investigation.
Michigan and North Dakota have good examples for reciprocity. 150 MBE score lets you waive in. That's a fair option. And you can only waive in by practice from states that allow similar MBE score admission. If we adopt that, it limits what attorneys from what states (i.e. NOT California and NY) can waive in by practice.
I want reciprocity so I can leave the state.

I am against reciprocity, and I don't miss your point.
I submitted my survey – I fully support reciprocity.
BOGs and Dean Dan support reciprocity, I do not, and I went to Boyd. It will hurt our bottom line.

Dean Dan, meet Lieut. Dan, the bast damn appellate lawyer, according to
the million dollar man, Claggett.

Drain the BOGs. BOG spenders for the bog easy. End of the day, sorry.
