Ben Nadig’s attorney, Michael Sanft, says Nadig sent an email to federal prosecutors six weeks ago telling them he thought his client might be trying to leave the country. Louis Schneider, the client’s new attorney, told the press that he was concerned about the breach of the attorney-client privilege. Looks like it’s time for multiple people to break out Nevada Rules of Professional Conduct 1.6(b). [RJ]
Judge Jerome Tao declared a mistrial after a juror saw 15 seconds of a news report on a case and told his thoughts to other jurors. [Fox5Vegas; RJ]
A woman who was groped by a family court marshal will get a $200,000 settlement from the state, while the marshal who did the groping looks to get a similar amount for wrongful termination. [8NewsNow]
For those of you looking for a new practice area, the idea of drones with vertical banners flying over the Strip offers all kinds of potential litigation. [RJ]
A group of mothers held a “nurse-in” at the Centennial Hills YMCA to remind people that it’s okay to breastfeed a baby in public, even at a public pool. See NRS 201.232. [RJ]
The 2014 State Bar of Nevada Annual Meeting starts in Newport Beach today. Are any of you going? Why not? What do you think about the theme of professionalism and civility? Is having the annual meeting out of state every other year a good idea? Is anyone doing the trial academy?
Doubly so if the marshal gets his settlement for the two years of back pay.

It's not illegal to breastfeed in public (nor should it be) but that doesn't get around trespass laws (unfortunately in my opinion). Business can still kick you out for any reason that doesn't offend the constitution. I think that is what is necessitating the nurse-ins.
The drones must die. I hope the FAA charges his dumb ass.
Also, I hope his attorney's actual advice was not: “Those [rules against this] are FAA policies and not enforceable law.”" If it was, that attorney needs to be identified and disciplined.
The LAW enables the regulation which is enforceable.
I like Sanft and Schneider, but don't trust either one of them.

The only reason I would attend the Bar's annual meeting is to get a discount on the Hyatt Newport. Sweet! Of course, Hotel Tonight also has it on the roster and I don't have to pretend that I am nice and polite during cocktail hour.

Because he follows the law and enforces the rules… something that some family law attorneys don't want because it gets in the way of their social life. They would rather family court seem like a circus, unlike how attorneys act at the RJC or any other court
Judge Pollock stated in court on the record that running a red light and shoplifting are both misdemeanors so they are both the same crime. He is not the Savior of The Family Law Bar in Las Vegas contrary to this bizarre comment above. I have no idea how Pollock could impact an attorney's social life except that said attorney may have to drink excessively following a Pollock decision. This has to be someone involved with his goofball campaign.
I love Judge Pollock cause he gave me my kids back despite my conviction for a low tier sex offense. This Judge listens and could clearly saw that my ex-wife was out to slander my good name. I am voting for Judge Pollock again and again and again again and you all should too.
The numbers don't lie. Ournevadajudges.com lists the appeal records of all of the Nevada judges. Here is the record from the Supreme Court on all of the family judges based upon the percentage of cases resulting in reversals:
Since it costs exactly the same to appeal one judge as opposed to another, this is a head to head comparison using the same criteria (objective and not opinion based). It seems the Supreme Court doesn't share your view of Judge Pollock's work. The second lowest reversal rate in the family court is not a bad record.
I agree, this guy don't know shit. I think Judge Pollock is the best. MY exwife was slandering my good name just because I was a low tier sex offender from a lond time ago. I explained myself to the judge because that girl looked at least 18. I was shocked when I found out how old she was! You know how these young girls do. That Judge heared me out and gave me primary custudy. My ex was unstable and went and killed herself soon after the judge had spoken on that mess which proves once and for all that what she said was a lie. Vote for Polock like me.
7:35 am is Andre Haynes, who is Judge Pollock's well-paid Public Relations Representative who has been hired to attempt to rehabilitate Judge Pollock's reputation. I think what you mean to say is appeals resulting in reversals. This begs the question, how many cases are being appealled in each department? What if Gonzalez had 2 appeals and 1 was reversed? That would equal 50%. What time frame are we talking about?
Speaking of statistics, ask a thousand or so family law attorneys over the past four years and what do they say when asked by the Rview Journal in a Judging the Judges Poll:
"Pollock has been evaluated three times but never has received a retention score higher than 50 percent."
Hey Andre, you can not shine shit. The shit you are attempting to shine is your boss Judge Kenneth Pollock's reputation. BTW, what happened to sign your name, we have freedom of speech in this country?
Oh man, 9:48 AM is some top notch comedy right there. Maybe the funniest comment I've seen on this blog. "VOTE FOR JUDGE POLLOCK LIKE US REGISTERED SEX OFFENDERS DO!"
It looks like Andre Haynes has spoken. That is Judge Pollock's Public Relations Guy.

Andre Haynes does not use his name any longer when he puts his posts up about his public relations client Kenneth Pollock. No one but a paid flunky likes this judge Andre.
I think I am going to vomit. Just got an invite to Clark County Woman's Dem Club, some of the biggest losers and scumbags are members. I think I will completely bypass, and not look back, and I am a Dem.
Maybe Wendy Kazel will be there, Is she a member ??????

Steve Grierson, congrats on the 200k settlement all the taxpayers will be shelling out for your incompetence:).

I am sure Judge Pollock is thrilled that 5:04 pm has somehow retained his voting rights.
