So, how many of you were at the party Friday night? Any good gossip to share?
Naturally, Sheriff Doug Gillespie denied any collusion with an arbitrator. [RJ]
Nevada Assembly Majority Leader and attorney William Horne, caught the attention of the local press by representing a client at a public hearing related to the medical marijuana regulation law he helped pass earlier this year. The article includes a brief discussion of the ethical implications–pay attention, this will be on the quiz. [Las Vegas Sun]
Here’s a discussion about the DA’s practice of paying witnesses to attend pretrial meetings with prosecutors, but not keeping receipts of the payments. Anyone have any further insight on this? [Las Vegas Sun]
Miracle of miracles! The UNLV football team has its first regular season 4-game winning streak since 1984. While it is unlikely to continue next week at Fresno St., bowl eligibility is now on their minds. [Las Vegas Sun]
Yeah, like they're going to properly document it if they were actually buying off witnesses.

They did document it. The problem is that the DA's office deliberately ignores the document retention policy of Clark County and burns the documentation after three years. As far as Wolfson claiming that meeting with prosecutors counts as “court business," I'm going to have to call bullshit on that. DAs are not extensions of the court, much as they might like to pretend they are. The court does not exist to convict people, but to render judgments.

6:07 – I don't know about that. Someone with two simultaneous personal injury suits seems like she may have a propensity to sue.

Yes. good point. when I reread my.post I realized it came off wrong (and I tried to edit it, but couldn't figure out how to do that). I was referring to the fact that it names names and is more vivid than most cns descriptions. I was sympathising with the guy, but it came across as talking shit.

What is the cns report?
http://www.courthousenews.com/ CNS sends out a daily email detailing law suits that were filed that day.
