Shots Across The Bow

  • Law

For those of you who want to chat about something else besides who is running for judge, consider these gems that are currently in the news.

  • Attorney Jay Brown has a hefty fee and an interesting arrangement for his medical marijuana business clients. [RalstonReports]
  • Attorney Jeffery A. Garofalo publicly takes issue with the recent article by Alan Lefebvre in the Nevada Lawyer. [RalstonReports]
  • The HOA Scandal trial includes some top secret documents which are so sensitive that they are being sealed and heavily restricted. Supposedly defense counsel can look and take notes, but cannot have copies. What could it be? [RJ]

Garofalo is a stand up guy. Lefebvre is an idiot.

Poor Mr. Brown looks like he is choking on a stalk of asparagus in that photo. Someone please help him.

You have to change the url to http://www.nvbar.org/content/february-2014-nevada-bar-exam-results to see the results. It looks like approximately 130 new attorneys. Well some may be barred elsewhere, but new Nevada attorneys.

If you are concerned about February bar passers threatening your ability to survive in the marketplace you're doing it wrong.

Aside from the fact that Jay Brown has obviously drafted these agreements to include any needed waivers, it also seems to me that his clients in these matters are what in the securities industry are considered sophisticated individuals variously referred to as qualified purchasers or accredited investors. Seriously, does Ralston think Jay's trolling bingo games at senior centers for uninformed suckers? Not his clientele. This is just another example of Ralston's leftist prejudice against competition and reward in the free market – except when his own pocket is involved. And lastly, referring back to Rule 1.8 (i), when did lobbying become litigation? Business in Nevada has enough price fixing, exclusionary protectionism; let's not add more.
