Not Vegas, but check out this ABA Journal story about a lawyer in trouble for the stop club. How many firm events have you had at the club?

Just applied for Yrulegui & Roberts. Wish me luck!
Not sure if this is a true story or the ABA is giving us bar exam hypos now.
No, no hypos. ABA is moving to support no exam admission, and Nevada of course endorsed open book on-line exam with coaching possible.
ABA–11:00 AM–Don't belong to the ABA because I never felt they represented the real interests of lawyers. Yes, the ABA is pushing along with some states the "diploma privileges" bar admission. After flooding the profession with too many law graduates this will then turn complete control of the profession over to the law schools. This is why we are better off with the MBE and the Uniform Bar Exam because the alternative is no bar exam and admission on motion.
It's not the '80's and '90's anymore, Toto.
This whole article is just sad. How pathetic do you have to be to make your employees hang out at a strip club with you?
Having a firm cover the strip club tab is very common in Las Vegas. Of course, attendance is always voluntary. Gordon Silver and Lionel Sawyer used to do this. I presume the remaining large firms still do.
The one time a client suggested going to a strip club, both of the attorneys (myself) declined.
You really think they still do this? They would have to be the dumbest attorneys around to do this today.
I probably went with clients a few times between the late 90's and the mid 00's. Pretty passe now, plus it is just asking for this kind of trouble nowadays.
I dont think they do this any longer because LSC and G&S have both gone the way of the $5 lap dance.
Wut? No more $5 lap dances. What do the ladies charge nowadays?
I have more questions about why the Plaintiff, a full grown adult who is an attorney, had her dad see her location on find my iphone and decided to voluntarily show up himself and see what was going on from afar, then allegedly "confronted" the partner for whatever actions he was doing, and THEN take his daughter home. It reads as if Plaintiff was a child or teen, not a working professional adult.
I also have a VERY hard time believing the line she "had never been to a strip club before and did not realize how tacky and degrading it was for the women working there, herself and her fellow employees." Even if youve never been a strip club before, theres enough shown in media (movies, news, online, etc) for you to get a decent understanding of what goes on.
This honestly makes the Plaintiff look more like a child than anything. Do I think the partner shouldve partied with his subordinates at a strip club? No. Do i think the subordinates are "victims" for having to witness the partner act like a college batchelor? No.
Let's be honest, we all know the actuality of what occurred isn't anything like it was alleged in the complaint.
It's almost as if they didn't have a beloved childhood sitcom ruined forever in the 90s.
This complaint is actually the script for a really shitty movie
12:52PM–Acting like a child. That is because the educational system treats students as children. They have crying rooms at colleges and law schools.Support groups. They aren't training lawyers but are training law students who believe they are victims. The person will probably get something because going to a strip club looks worse than it actually is.
Too bad it was not a stop club.
How many of you all will take a good client to a strip club?
Waiting for the press release announcing the new firm of "Crawford & Yrulegui"
Saw they are ramrodding an appointment and election for Department 17 in. Ganz applied (and has Letizia). Who else has applied?
I think it will go direct election not appointment route but am not sure. The Judicial Selection information on NSC website sounds like that's what's going on.
It is a direct election. Ganz, Jennifer Schwartz, and Lindsay Moors will be running in Dept. 17, and Maria Gall, James Dean Leavitt, and Nadine Morton are on the ballot for Dept. 9.
Disgusting and degrading, tacky and dirty. Of course a "no" and an Uber ride home would have avoided the whole thing. Certainly a worker's comp associate would know this. No sympathy here.
The idea of taking a client to a strip club, or having a firm event at a strip club, seems like the illegitimate love child of Don Draper and Ron Jeremy.
I don't want to hear second hand accounts. Has anyone, in the last ten years, personally done either?
I know you said you didn't want to hear second hand accounts, but I'll give one anyway. I am female. I worked in house for a company that regularly retained outside firms for our work. My male colleagues would often get treated to golf, drinking, partying, and yes, strip clubs. This was all within the last 10 years.
Is mr/ms dawg ok? Why no new chats?
He's probably tired of us. Rumor on the street is Steve Stein passed away last week, but I can't find any confirmation, except that there's no link to his website anymore on Google search.
Would want more information on Steve Stein's passing
Steve Stein was one of the first defense attorneys I met when I moved to town. He was always smart, funny and classy; taught me a lot about how to work in our environment. He was one of the last ties to the Old Vegas way of doing things and I just loved the guy. He truly will be missed.
RIp Steve Stein and Judge John McGroarty. Two class acts. Both nice men. You will be missed
I hope Ms law dawg is okay.
