Anthony Cabot is one of the most effective gaming attorneys in the industry, so it was no surprise when he was named Distinguished Fellow in Gaming Law by the Boyd School of Law at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas upon his retirement. But you can't keep a good man down, so he's been able to promote the law school and recently was included in an announcement that Entain, the British iGaming provider, would launch an online gaming program for operators, regulators, lawyers and others who work in and around the global gaming industry. He spoke with GGB Publisher Roger Gros via Zoom from the law school in January. (View Video Below) GGB: What does it feel like to be able to shape the next generation of gaming attorneys with this new program? Anthony Cabot: It is actually quite a lot of fun because one of the great advantages of being at UNLV and particularly at the law school is that they bring in people from all over the world. So now I get the opportunity not only to deal with a lot of young students, but also a lot of people who have experience in gaming and regulation in countries throughout the world. So it's been very rewarding. How did the program come about? Was it Entain's idea? They told us that they were interested in helping us sponsor an executive education program. One of the things we always hear at our G2E booth from people from other jurisdictions is that they don't have time to go back to law school and become a lawyer, but gaming law is really important to what they do. They could be compliance officers or internal audit officers or regulators. So we're going to have a program that's going to be for non-lawyers. What are some of the classes you're going to offer? I will be teaching a class called Intro to Gaming Law, which is kind of an overview of how gaming law covers all sorts of topics—licensing, anti-money laundering, internal controls, technical standards, and many other things. But at the same time, the students can take a number of other classes. Bill Buffalo, a longtime industry member, is teaching Gaming Operations in the Law. That will be more applicable to somebody who's an executive and wants to learn more about how gaming law impacts operations. Katherine Rand and Steven Light, very well-known professors in the area of Indian gaming, are going to be teaching a class on Indian gaming law. And Alan Feldman and Dayvid Figler will be teaching a class on problem gambling and responsible gambling. That's our first four. We'll probably end up with a total of about eight to 10. What will be the format? It's all online. About 80 percent of it is pre-taped, so they can go through the lessons at their own pace, along with the materials to read, quizzes and things of that nature. And then about 20 percent of it will be online, so we can have interaction with the students. You wrote an article for GGB in our January issue on responsible gaming programs in Nevada. For a state that depends so heavily on gaming revenue, you said it had become a big problem for state regulators. What has the response been so far to that article? It's interesting. I've actually gotten some response, but I haven't heard anybody from Nevada specifically. But I've heard from regulators in other states who've told me this is worth talking about and that there's a need for a different approach. They like the idea of having some carrots instead of going back to the old method where you punish people for not meeting certain standards. One of the big problems is that the state is awful with regard to funding. They give a funding amount of about $1.5 million per year. For an industry that's generating $12 billion a year that is very little money. We try to get the majority of that money into treatment, and that's fine, but we don't even understand the scale of the problem because we haven't done any prevalence tests. Right. We don't know where the needs exactly are in the communities that need these services. But the legislature has not responded.

With multiple recent 8-figure jury verdicts in difficult cases, Sean Claggett is truly on a roll. But nothing Sean has accomplished is an accident.  It is the culmination of his own personal journey to re-invent himself as a master trial lawyer and to pioneer the use of data-driven decision-making to maximize his results.  Join us for our conversation with Sean as we explore his uniquely successful approach to winning at trial.We begin with a discussion of Sean's background and journey to becoming a trial lawyer.  He recounts how he gave up trying cases and moved on to other things, before deciding to recommit himself to trial practice.  With his newfound commitment, Sean spent several years learning as much as he could about trial strategy and technique and rehearsing his approach with regular focus groups.  Armed with newfound confidence, Sean re-entered the courtroom and has had unparalleled success.Along the way, Sean explains how he adopted a data-driven approach to preparing for trial, using so-called "big data" metrics to identify his best trial cases, determine his likely win ratio and guide his approach to asking for money.The results speak for themselves.About Sean ClaggettSean Claggett is an established Las Vegas personal injury attorney and handles difficult cases across the country. Sean founded Claggett & Sykes Law Firm in 2005, and is the firm's lead trial lawyer.In 2017, Sean was recognized by his fellow trial lawyers of the Nevada Justice Association as Nevada's Trial Attorney of the Year.PROVEN TRIAL SUCCESSIn 2016, Sean had the fourth most influential verdict in the United States according to Courtroom View Network, stemming from a slip and fall at Lowe's in which his client suffered a TBI after she slipped, fell, and knocked down a three-foot yellow warning cone. Lowe's top offer before the verdict was $1,400,000.00, and the referring plaintiff attorney offered to resolve the case for $1,749,999.99. The jury returned a verdict in the amount of $16,430,000.00.Sean's trial success continued with two verdicts in 2018 in the amounts of $20,000,000.00 and $3,382,000.00. Sean's verdict of $20,000,000.00 was recognized as the fourth most influential verdict in the United States according to Courtroom View Network, stemming from a negligence case against an HOA for failing to maintain its swing set. The HOA's top offer before trial was $400,000.00, and the referring plaintiff offered the HOA to resolve the case for $949,000.00. The plaintiff in the case suffered a TBI.Sean's trial success continued in 2019 as he obtained a verdict of $645,814.33 in which there was a 16-day gap in treatment after the initial wreck, and then, after eight months of physical therapy treatment, there was a three and a half year gap in treatment before the plaintiff obtained further treatment for his back injury. The top offer from the defense was $50,000.00, and the referring attorney agreed to accept $180,000.00 to resolve the case prior to trial.Later that year, Sean received an honorable mention from Courtroom View Network as having one of the year's most impressive trials for his work on a medical malpractice trial where his client suffered a TBI. Sean asked for $63,000,000.00 in closing arguments and the case settled before the jury returned a verdict.In 2020, Courtroom View Network named Sean to its “Who We're Watching” list. Courtroom View Network says that after more than a decade of capturing trials for its streaming network, the lawyers on this list are its best of the best of the decade and are the lawyers that other lawyers should watch if they're looking to improve their craft.In 2021, Sean obtained a $38,750,000 verdict on behalf the mother of an 11-year girl who was killed by a garbage truck while crossing the street in a marked crosswalk. The top defense offer before trial was $1,000,000.EDUCATIONSean is a proud graduate from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. In 2000, he received a Bachelor or Arts in Political Science.

During his time at the Boyd School of Law, he was a staff editor of the Nevada Law Journal as well as a member of the National Moot Court team. As a law student he won the Society of Advocates oral argument competition.After graduating from Boyd School of Law, Sean was employed at a high-profile criminal defense law firm.

In this episode, Benjamin P. Edwards, Associate Professor of Law and Director of the Public Policy Clinic at the University of Nevada Las Vegas William S. Boyd School of Law, discusses his draft article "Supreme Risk." Edwards explains that the United States financial markets are regulated primarily by self-regulatory organizations or "SROs" supervised by government agencies. He discusses his history of SROs, and observes that they can insulate financial markets from systemic political risk. But he notes that they are vulnerable to judicial risk, especially now that the Supreme Court seems poised to question the constitutional legitimacy of their structure. He reflects on the different potential constitutional problems, and explains how SROs can help mitigate judicial risk. Edwards is on Twitter at @BenPEdwards.This episode was hosted by Brian L.

Boyd School of Law and Dean Emerita of Michigan State University College of Law, discusses her article "First and Last Chance: Looking for Lesbians in Fifties Bar Cases," which is published in the Souther California Review of Law and Women's Studies. Howarth begins by discussing the cases and archival records she used to tell the stories of lesbians living in the San Francisco Bay Area in the 1950s. She reflects on the dehumanizing language police, prosecutors, and judges used to describe gay people at the time, and how the cases still preserve a valuable record of the lives and experiences of gay people. She also discusses the process of archival research and how it can helpfully inform legal scholarship. Howarth is on Twitter at @JoanHowarth1.This episode was hosted by Brian L.

There are important tax changes coming this summer for families. Specifically, the child tax credit will enable families to get advanced payments. This is a change from prior years where the credit was calculated and paid out at tax time. The credit is not a new credit, it's an enhanced credit as part of President Biden's American Rescue Plan, signed into law in March 2021.  The purpose of the child tax credit is to help lift families out of poverty, but like many tax provisions, it can be complicated.   On today's episode of the Taxgirl podcast, Kelly is joined by Elaine Maag and Professor Francine Lipman to explain the 2021 tax changes for families, especially the child tax credit. Elaine is a Principal Research Associate at the Brookings Institution Tax Policy Center, where she studies income support programs with a particular interest in how tax policy supports low and middle income families. She is a member of The Tax Policy and Poverty Research Network, and a member of The National Academy's Insurance Panel on assured income. Professor Lipman teaches tax courses at the Boyd School of Law, UNLV. She has previous experience as an accountant, a lawyer, a teacher, and a scholar. She is an elected member of the American Law Institute, The American College of Tax Council, and The American Bar Foundation. Professor Lipman is also an Editor and former Committee Chair for the tax section of The American Bar Association. Listen to Kelly, Elaine, and Professor Lipman talk about the child tax credit: What is new about the child tax credit, how is it different from the credit we know and love from years prior? The margin of increase in credit payments per child. How will this change affect families that don't traditionally file a tax return? How to get in touch with the IRS regarding the change via toll free phone line or online portal. In terms of the new advance monthly payments, do we know what will happen if those payments don't start even when you're entitled to them? The IRS will be creating a separate user portal to update personal information. Does the IRS know how it will be handling disputes regarding who gets to claim dependents with this change? If your income is under $40K annually and you're a single parent, you're probably within the safe harbor.  How many of these changes apply only for 2021, and which ones are here to stay? In the wake of the pandemic, why are some of these 2021 tax changes only temporary? There's been a lot of criticism on the tax professional side about prioritization of projects and the timeline that payments are delivered. How is the IRS encouraging low income families and serial non-filers to begin filing this year? In comparison to the stimulus check program, how is the child tax credit different and where does it show up on a tax return? The credit will be paid half in advance and then reconciled on the return, what sources are recommended for learning more information about the tax credit? More about Kelly Phillips Erb: Kelly is the creator and host of the Taxgirl podcast series. Kelly is a practicing tax attorney with considerable experience and knowledge. She works with taxpayers like you every day. One of the things that she does is help folks out of tax jams, and hopefully, keep others from getting into them.

Aaron Freiwald, Managing Partner of Freiwald Law and host of the weekly podcast, Good Law | Bad Law, is joined by Peter Bayer, a Professor at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas William S. Boyd School of Law, to discuss morality, the Impeachment, and the Constitution.   In today’s episode, Aaron and Peter delve deep into an important and interesting conversation about liberty, fundamental fairness, Due Process and more; throughout, they specifically apply these ideas and their principles to President Trump, and his recent impeachment.  Peter and Aaron have a philosophical discussion on Kant and his categorical imperatives, Deontology, Originalism, and natural rights. The two debate what the Framers of the Constitution intended, they discuss the Magna Carta, natural law, the Supreme Court decision in Obergefell, legal and political theorists such as Blackstone and Locke, and examine Peter’s extensive article on these issues, “Deontological Originalism: Moral Truth, Liberty, and Constitutional ‘Due Process.’”   What is the role of the Constitution? What are its meanings? What is and is not considered moral? And how do we/should we think of ‘the greater good?”   An expert in jurisprudence, Peter earned both his J.D. and his M.A. in Sociology from NYU. His article on today’s subject matter is a legal commentary on the principles of Originalism and Deontology, arguing that given the principles of Originalism, the Constitution mandates that any governmental act is unconstitutional if it is immoral.  Peter refers to these ideas as “Deontological Originalism,” asserting that both the Founders of this Nation and the Reconstruction Congress believed in natural rights that derived from principles of natural law. Aaron and Peter contemplate this through the lens of 2019 and the Impeachment, considering Trump’s definitions of “fair” and drawing comparisons to Fraud’s theory of the ID.   After studying at NYU, Professor Bayer earned his LL.M. from Harvard Law. Before his time at Boyd, Peter served as Assistant Professor and Director of the Legal Research, Analysis, and Writing Program at St. Tomas University School of Law in Miami. In addition to teaching stints at Boston College Law School, the University of Baltimore Law School, and the University of Miami School of Law, Peter worked as Senior Patient Advocate for Quantum Health Resources, Trial Attorney for the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, and Staff Attorney for the Center for Advocacy, Research, and Planning. He also clerked for the Honorable Clifford Scott Green, United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. Professor Bayer teaches Lawyering Process, Jurisprudence, Administrative Law, Employment Discrimination, and Judicial Writing.     To check out Professor Bayer’s article on Deontological Originalism, please click here.

In this episode of The Stories Behind the Bet, Las Vegas attorney Dayvid Figler discusses the history behind Nevada’s problem gambling diversion court. Whereas prison serves to punish convicted individuals, the diversion court rehabilitates them and works to treat their addiction.

Park Neighborhood and is a regular contributor to programming at the Boyd School of Law at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas.   Figler currently writes for the Nevada Independent, covering topics including the death penalty and criminal justice reform in Nevada, the freedom of the press (release), and compensation for those wrongfully convicted of crimes.   SUMMARY In this episode, the following topics are discussed: 0:14 – Dayvid Figler’s contributions to Nevada law 2:10 – Nevada’s decision to pass gambling diversion court legislation in 2009 3:07 – The first case to ever implement the gambling diversion court law, and the establishment of the court 4:21 – The parameters of eligibility for diversion (first case, violent vs. nonviolent crimes, current cases that could qualify) 8:46 – Support for social responsibility in the gaming industry 10:19 – Practical aspects of the diversion court 11:19 – The country’s interest in developing more gambling diversion systems 13:43 – How industry operators can support the program’s initiatives 15:50 – Why prison just doesn’t compare 16:50 – The end of the stigma around problem gambling addiction 17:50 – Hope for the future  NOTES Information on the NRS 458A Law Determining eligibility for Nevada’s problem gambling diversion court Information on diversion programming in Nevada Mental health professionals’ preference of diversion over prison sentencing How industry officials can make a financial difference today The Nevada Council on Problem Gambling Learn more about episode guest Dayvid Figler via his website.

In this episode, Dr. Leslie C. Griffin, William S. Boyd Professor of Law at the University of Nevada Las Vegas William S.

In this episode, Benjamin Edwards, Associate Professor of Law at the University of Nevada Las Vegas William S. Boyd School of Law, discusses his article "The Professional Prospectus: A Call for Effective Professional Disclosure," which was published in the Washington & Lee Law Review. Edwards explains how information asymmetry makes it hard for consumers to evaluate the quality of professional services, and often causes them to receive substandard service. While professional regulation can help weed out the very lowest quality providers, its effectiveness is limited and often compromised by self-interest. Edwards argues that professions should require affirmative disclosure of relevant information to consumers in advance in the form of a "professional prospectus," in order to improve the market for professional services.

In this episode Dean Jill Gross, Associate Dean for Academic Affairs explains one of the most tested subjects of Professional Responsibility, how to identify attorney-client conflicts of interest. Dean Gross highlights what she defines as the three different types of conflicts of interest and then offers an excellent analytical tool for determining when potential conflicts exist and evaluating the severity of the conflict.Some key takeaways are(1) Client conflict can be divided into three categoriesa. Those that do not rise to the level of conflict for ethical purposes b. Those that are serious enough that a lawyer must take some action but are waivable such that an attorney can continue representation and, c. Those that are so serious that they cannot be waived; under no circumstance can a lawyer represent both clients. (2) Length of time between representations also plays a factor in determining conflicts of interest(3) Read the Model Rules of Professional Conduct and your stats rules on professional responsibility to assure success on any professional responsibility exam.About our guest…Professor Jill I.
