The Juror

  • Law

  • Nevada Supreme Court Chief Justice Mark Gibbons was selected to serve on the jury in a criminal trial this week. [RJ]
  • One of the defendants indicted along with suspended family court Judge Steven Jones pleaded guilty yesterday to one count of conspiracy to commit money laundering. Jones and the remaining defendants are scheduled to go to trial at the end of September. [RJ]
  • Attorney Robert Pool, who lost in the primary to Judge Ron Israel and Susan Bush, has accumulated over $12,000 in unpaid sanctions and fees. [RJ]
  • With the unfortunate news of the death of Robin Williams, it’s a good time to remember that we’re all in this together. If you need help, don’t be afraid to say something. If you’re worried about someone, let them know. In an AMA that he did at Reddit last year, he was asked what advice he had for people going through bad times for whatever reason. He said, “Reach out to friends. They’re out there. And know that you are loved.”

What's the deal with Family Law judges? I mean, even when they know you are appearing on a pro bono basis, they make you wait and wait and wait….On top of that, they are extremely rude and obnoxious.

Save your fake smiles when you ask me for money during your campaign. My impression is that the majority of you are worthless human beings.

Random issue, but how does an attorney update contact information that incorrectly appears on Odyssey? I have updated my information on Wiznet, and despite that, an incorrect phone number appears on Odyssey.

Any guidance would be appreciated. Thanks.

Good luck on that. I have had that issue for the past couple years now. I was told by the people at the District Court clerk's office that once I file a Notice of Change of Address in one of my cases my information will be updated in Odyssey. I did it and nothing happened. It might work out for you. Let me know if you get it figured out.

I'm trying to do the same thing and when I asked a JEA they told me to call the 'court administration' and ask them about updating my contact info. Filing a notice of change of address didn't work for me either.

Good for Gibbons that he showed up for jury duty. Bad for the idiot lawyers that thought it would be good to have a supreme court justice on the panel.

It's a tough situation. I wouldn't want to be the lawyer that dismissed the juror that knew the most about the law. I think other jurors could see that as trying to protect your meritless positions from someone that knows enough to see through the bullshit.
