Hello, Blog is dead. Apparently the slackers are already taking an extended weekend, leaving us poor hard working backbones of the legal community in the office to keep up appearances.

From the Miller article:
"One of the purported benefits of the Delaware Chancery Court is its predictable application of law and rich body of case law addressing questions.
Nevada offers an alternative. It's possible for a court here to appoint a lawyer who happens to wander into a courtroom as the co-CEO of a public company."
Not quite. I think the article mentioned that Ross was in an adjoinging court as a witness, had been vetted by the attorney proposing the appointment and Ross had agreed. So not a random walk-on, but arranged on short notice.
I am calling bullshit. This was planned well in advance.

One thing I love about the blog is I can ask things I'd feel stupid asking a lawyer friend, I've been doing low-cost divorces for about 4 years and never had the need to depose the opposing party, is that a thing? Can I do that? Where is that rule? Please help seriously as I need to move from this low-cost stuff to helping those with enough money I can make my car payment. Not joking.
Are you asking if you can depose a party in a contested case? Yes, usually. See NRCP 30 for the general rules on depositions. When you can do depositions is generally going to be laid out in the Case Management Order, see EDCR 5.400.
Litigation is not for the faint-hearted or for those who are unfamiliar with the rules. I urge you to get a mentor or thoroughly prepare yourself before taking on a contested matter.
As an aside, the State Bar used to publish a Family Law Manual or similar title, but it is no longer available. Maybe there is an old copy floating around somewhere that you can pickup for cheap.
Just commenting to say that I also love the blog for help with questions. And I'd so much rather read these helpful questions & answers than the weird political stuff we've seen lately. Thanks, blog!
12:04 – you (and really, every attorney participating in a deposition) should read Administrative Order 22-08 on Deposition Behavior. It was just published a few months ago and has a LOT of good information for the nuts and bolts of depositions.
It also addresses conduct, what you're allowed to do and not do, etc. Print a copy and take it with you to the deposition so you can cite it to the opposing attorney when they complain about you doing something.
I know that a lot of attorneys and judges do not know that Family Court is part of the 8th Judicial District Court and follows the Nevada Rules of Civil Procedure and NOT the Nevada Rules of Whatever Family Court Judge Rules Whatever they Want. Also, litigation in Family Court is a pain in the a$$ so make sure you leave a tip in the tip jar that can be found by the Judicial Assistant's desk.
1:31 haha you would never know that by practicing down there as it seems they make it up as they go, I arrived early to meet a friend for lunch and sat through a couple hearings, zero adherence to rules and just a lot of yelling
OC: (Asks question to his client, child's mother in evidentiary hearing)
Me: "Objection, calls for speculation."
Judge: "Overruled, I'll allow it."
Mother: "Yes, as I was saying, I definitely think my 18 month old son, when he starts talking, is going to want me to drive him around in my Escalade so it should be paid for with my child support."*
* fictional account, but not implausible at 601 N. Pecos.
I have handled one matter in family court. When like this, had the guy on the stand. Asked if he disclosed all the property that he owned in his disclosures. He said he did. Started asking about each of the many houses he had under his own name which I found using a simple search of the assessor's website. He admitted that he did in fact own like 8 properties. Judge gave him a chance to file an amended financial disclosure. He once again stated that he owned no properties… We won everything we were asking for. I have no idea how his attorney let him file another verifiably false disclosure.
@5:49p – if he previously admitted he had 8 properties, then on his FDF he didn't yet again list those properties, and his attorney took his FDF that the perjurer signed again and filed it for him, why wouldn't that be a sanctionable event for both the client who perjured himself again, and the attorney who filed a document with the court with actual knowledge that it was false?
Cause……It's family court. The more sad thing is that I can in the time it took to type this post, name a half dozen attorneys off of the top of my head that could and have done this type of thing.

@2:25 is a bigot and apparently transphobic.

Government official kills somebody while not on the job clock, and he gets denied his pay. Government official pleasures himself on a table while on the job clock and he gets to keep his pay. It is just not fair. https://www.8newsnow.com/news/local-news/las-vegas-police-officer-performed-sex-act-during-massage-said-hand-sanitizer-exploded-on-him-police/
About the second sentence of the above. Now we know why the NDOC employees missed the escaped prisoner.
Whoops.
