Does anyone have any recommendations for a receiver. I am not ecstatic with the choices we have seen in the past. Do any of the bankruptcy trustees act as receivers? If so, any recommendations?
Tim Cory has done a good job and was seeking receiver work. Biff Leonard has done a good amount of receiverships. There are industry specific receivers. I am never a fan of out of state receivers. I am also not a fan of Ansara.
Will Eglet be there, gloating about his new trial in the case his opponent defensed?

The Ninth Circuit panel that manufactured the federal nexus here was, frankly, creative in a way I have not seen since Ethics 2000 – which was, of course, my drafting. The constitutional hook is thin. What I find professionally interesting is that this same analytical framework collapses the moment you apply it to a spousal communication in a simultaneous federal proceeding – which I have seen, on at least three matters currently on my desk. The government’s theory would void a class of privileged communications that family-law practitioners have structured around for decades. Any practitioner handling a joint-client matter with a firearm-adjacent fact pattern should already be re-papering their engagement letters. I count two discrete billable items in that sentence alone.

I find it so odd that County Counsel is pursuing this legal strategy of withholding records requested by the LVRJ. How does Clark County benefit from playing hide the ball with the local press? Are there people higher up, maybe on the legal side who will be exposed for their incompetence or malfeasance? Who is County Counsel attempting to protect with this losing strategy?
I’m tired of these doufus’ getting rung up with attorneys fee awards for taking obviously indefensible positions. I wish the judges would demand that the decision maker appear in court an answer questions about what the fuck they were thinking.
That would be nice to see. It’s not really clear who the real decisionmakers are when it comes to these litigation positions. Does it stick at county management level (assistant county managers or the county manager) or does it rise as high as the commissioners themselves? Would be nice to know. It’s the elected or appointed managers taking bad positions, they’re getting bad legal advice, or both I suppose.

Randy Moss would be my choice for a receiver. I’d take Calvin Johnson if Moss was unavailable.
Bob Ansara at Dunham.
For receivers from Vegas, I don’t think you can argue with Puka Nacua.
Poor guy, ask a question on a Friday and see what you get…
just throwing out Jerry Rice as the all time best……. but loved watching Largent and Moss…..
in all seriousness, contact Brian Shapiro he does receiver work.
Not a fan of Shapiro at all.
But have you seen how fast Shapiro runs a 40? Serious stud!
Random tangent but: “4-5 forty” is one of my favorite phrases in English. I’m always rooting for the guys at the combine to run a 4.5.
If I would have been 3 seconds faster in the 40, I would have made the cut at the NFL combine

But it is not their money so they don’t really care.

Make no mistake, the shot callers are the bureaucrats and politicians, not the lawyers forced to defend the indefensible.
Still would be nice to have more detail than that: is it unelected senior management, the commissioners, or both?
