Mid-week Round Up

Leftist, hippies and strippers who want their First Amendment rights lament! The Nevada ACLU's local leader, Gery Peck, has stepped down. (Las Vegas Weekly)

Congratulations to Lewis & Roca. The firm leads the Legal Aid Center of Southern Nevada’s pro bono case count with 27 cases in 2009. (L&R PR) [Shame on you Nevada firms for letting a regional firm out pro bono you in your own state]

We lost a good one. Long time Clark County Clerk Shirley B. Parraguirre, who used to butt heads with District Court Judges over whether that had the authority to alter court minutes, has died. (RJ)

  2. The whacky City Attorney lets the Dizty District Court judge go free and no one says anything?

  3. There's noise going around that there were some layoffs at L&R this week. Can anyone verify that? Was it staff or both attorneys & staff? Anyone?

  4. Miley is a non-story.

    She bumped someone during a fight and police weren't even called at the time. Good luck with that case (and I'm a prosecutor).

  6. Re L&R layoffs...apparently two support staffers were laid off in Vegas and there were a higher number of layoffs among the support staff in their Phoenix office. Haven't heard about any attorney layoffs.
