It's a race to 270. With just six days until the 2024 presidential election, Kamala Harris and Donald Trump are seeking to motivate voters in key swing states across the nation in hopes of picking up enough support to earn 270 electoral votes and claim victory. Trump will speak to voters Wednesday afternoon in North Carolina's 1st District, a region that is anticipated to determine which candidates win the state's 16 electoral votes. Harris will only be an hour away, holding a rally in Raleigh, North Carolina. In addition to North Carolina, states to watch on election night include Pennsylvania, Arizona, Nevada, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Georgia. And Heritage Action for America Executive Vice President Ryan Walker argues that Harris should not count on winning Virginia, despite the fact that President Joe Biden easily carried the state in 2020. The razor-thin margins in the swing states indicate that it may take several days for the American people to know who their next president will be, and some states, like Nevada, pose a unique challenge to determining a winner. On Monday, the Nevada Supreme Court affirmed a lower court decision that mail-in ballots with no postmark can be received and counted until three days after the election. There is, however, a chance the winner will be known on election night, according to Walker. "I think that the energy and enthusiasm gap is such this year that we'll know a significant amount of information going into Election Day," Walker said. "And if we can extrapolate those numbers and compare them to Election Day results in previous years or get some initial data on exit polling, there is a chance that the winner could be declared on election night despite some of these states having late arrival votes that they're still counting." Walker joins “The Daily Signal Podcast” to discuss the key issues on the minds of voters this election, and to predict when the presidential election will be called.
Join Jim and Greg as they update the Democrats' latest efforts to get donations from "Doris" and "Diane." They also discuss key events affecting the GOP in Nevada, the New York Times' partisan focus on "misinformation," and more proof that ballot drop boxes are a terrible idea.They kick things off with a fun update on recent Harris campaign fundraising pitches sent to the wrong recipients. Jim and Greg share the Democrats' persistent attempts to get "Doris" and "Diane" (who are really just Greg and Jim) to donate—and the various psychological tactics they use that have no chance of working.Moving to the Nevada battleground, they discuss the latest mixed results for the GOP. Early voting trends show Republicans gaining a lot of ground in this cycle, but a recent Nevada Supreme Court ruling allows mail-in ballots to be counted even if received days after Election Day and without a postmark. They also tackle the latest efforts from the left-leaning media to target online conservative content. Ben Shapiro highlighted an email he received from a New York Times reporter about an upcoming piece that critiques right-leaning YouTube channels based on data from the Soros-funded Media Matters for America. They slam the Times' reliance on the far-left MMFA's analysis and the implications for conservative voices online.Finally, they cover disturbing reports from Washington and Oregon of incendiary devices placed in ballot drop boxes, leading to some serious ballot damage. Jim and Greg want the perpetrators punished severely, but they also see this as just the latest sign that ballot drop boxes are a terrible idea for people interested in fair and secure elections.

Just a couple weeks ago, the Nevada Supreme Court issued a non-decision with potentially huge implications for our elections — they declined to compel Washoe County to certify the results of a June primary recount. It gets a little wonky, but the big question coming out of this is: Does this give Nevada counties free rein to just… not certify any election results they don't like? What does this all bode for November? Today, co-host Dayvid Figler sits down with Nevada Secretary of State Cisco Aguilar for a wide-ranging conversation about election security, the voter ID laws on the ballot this fall, and how we restore faith in our electoral system.

Today's West Coast Cookbook & Speakeasy Podcast for our especially special Daily Special, Blue Moon Spirits Fridays, is now available on the Spreaker Player!Starting off in the Bistro Cafe, chaos erupted in the House of Representatives as MAGA Republicans returned from their visit at Trump's criminal trial.Then, on the rest of the menu, Merrick Garland punched back at House Republicans over their “unfounded attacks” on the US Justice Department; the Nevada Supreme Court denied an appeal of a conservative election fraud activist who sought to oust county election officials; and, Google wants a judge, rather than a jury, to decide whether it violated US antitrust laws.After the break, we move to the Chef's Table where a Swedish court rejected Tesla's appeal in its dispute over labor unions in the Nordic country; and, Italy's neo-fascist League wants to change the law and remove the European Union flag from public offices.All that and more, on West Coast Cookbook & Speakeasy with Chef de Cuisine Justice Putnam.Bon Appétit!The Netroots Radio Live PlayerKeep Your Resistance Radio Beaming 24/7/365!“Structural linguistics is a bitterly divided and unhappy profession, and a large number of its practitioners spend many nights drowning their sorrows in Ouisghian Zodahs.”― Douglas Adams"The Restaurant at the End of the Universe"Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/west-coast-cookbook-speakeasy--2802999/support.

Should public money be used to help build the Oakland A's baseball team a new stadium in Las Vegas? The state's largest teachers union wants to ask voters that question in November. But like so many other proposed initiatives, it's been challenged and appealed up to the Nevada Supreme Court. This week, justices heard oral arguments about the proposed referendum. Host Ben Margiott takes listeners inside the courtroom and interviews Alexander Marks, director of strategy for the Nevada State Education Association, about their 'Schools Over Stadiums' push, the effort to get the referendum on the November ballot and their unlikely alliance with Oakland A's fans.
Will abortion be on the Nevada ballot in November? One initiative seeking to enshrine reproductive freedoms is currently in the hands of the Nevada Supreme Court and advocates are already gathering signatures for another measure dealing with abortion alone. On this episode of Ballot Battleground: Nevada, host Ben Margiott takes us inside last week's oral arguments at the state supreme court, explains the abortion landscape in Nevada and interviews Jason Guinasso, the attorney representing the Coalition for Parents and Children, which is challenging one of the proposed measures. (Note: Lindsey Harmon, the president of Nevadans for Reproductive Freedom, was not available to do an interview in time for this episode, but her perspective is included through soundbites from an interview after last week's court hearing.)

Who should draw Nevada's political maps? Today, it's whichever party is in control in Carson City. In the last cycle, Democrats had a trifecta and passed their maps without any Republican support - those maps were given an "F" from the nonpartisan Princeton Gerrymandering Project for giving Democrats a clear political advantage. But now one group is pushing to take the redistricting process out of the hands of politicians and put it into the hands of an independent board. Last week, a judge shot down the proposed ballot questions, but that decision is being appealed to the Nevada Supreme Court. In this episode of Ballot Battleground: Nevada, we talk to the woman running the Fair Maps Nevada PAC behind the ballot questions and the man behind the legal challenge about the ongoing push to change this process and the pushback.
In this episode, host Chris Clarke speaks with Patrick Donnelly of the Center for Biological Diversity about a significant victory in the Nevada Supreme Court regarding water rights. They discuss the case of Coyote Springs, a proposed city in the desert that would have a detrimental effect on the Muddy River and its endangered species. The court ruling sets a precedent for managing groundwater and surface water as a single resource, potentially affecting other areas in Nevada facing similar water issues. This episode sheds light on the importance of protecting desert ecosystems and the interconnectedness of water resources.

Have you ever driven past Coyote Springs, that never-built development 45 minutes into the desert? They've been tied up in legal battles over water for 20 years. And last week, the Nevada Supreme Court issued a ruling with major implications for Coyote Springs, but more importantly, for how our state uses water. Environmental reporter Daniel Rothberg just wrote about it for the Nevada Independent, and sits down with co-host Dayvid Figler to break it all down. It's wonky, but Daniel makes it easy to understand — and we promise you'll be the smartest person at the dinner table this weekend.

This week we're showcasing some of the best of City Cast over the past year.

In this episode from April, co-host Dayvid Figler sits down with Jackie Flores and Louis Koorndyk, both STR operators and co-founders of the Greater Las Vegas STR Association. They say Clark County's 2023 STRs rules are too restrictive and maybe unconstitutional. It's a spirited conversation — and a timely one as AirBnB-type operations are again in the national spotlight and a lawsuit to curb regulations lingers in the Nevada Supreme Court with briefing set to conclude in January.

Las Vegas, NV - Thomas Randolph, notoriously dubbed the "Black Widower" due to the suspicious deaths of four out of his six wives, is once again under the piercing gaze of the legal system. This 65-year-old Nevada resident, previously sentenced to death in 2017, had his conviction reversed. While no longer on death row, Randolph remains in custody as the anticipation for his retrial grows, echoing sentiments from two decades of intertwined love, death, and suspicions. For many, Randolph's story strikes a chord due to the eerie pattern surrounding his marriages. Four wives met untimely deaths, and life insurance payouts followed two of those tragedies. In the 2017 trial, prosecutors accused Randolph of orchestrating the death of his sixth wife, Sharon Causse, and a man named Michael James Miller. Allegedly, Randolph paid Miller to murder Causse to claim over $360,000 from a life insurance policy. Randolph consistently rebuts these claims, recounting how he found his wife shot dead by Miller. According to him, he fatally shot Miller in self-defense. While the jury's skepticism of Randolph's version is clear, their distrust was further fueled by a grim episode from 1986. Randolph's second wife, Becky Gault, was found dead from a gunshot wound to the head. Although acquitted, the court allowed the jury to consider evidence from that case, including a substantial $500,000 life insurance inheritance. December 9 marked a turning point as the Nevada Supreme Court concluded that the jury should not have been presented with evidence from the 1986 case. Consequently, Randolph's conviction was overturned, paving the way for a new trial. Reacting with evident glee to the court's decision, Randolph expressed his relief on the "Killer Genes" podcast, stating, "I'm just as happy as can be because as I've told everybody - I didn't do this." Yet, a closer look at Randolph's marital history unveils a tangled web of relationships marked by death and suspicion: Kathryn Thomas (Alive): Thomas, his first wife, testified that Randolph threatened her life during their marriage. Despite residing peacefully in Utah, allegations swirled that he once sought a hitman for her assassination. Becky Gault (Deceased, 1986): While Randolph claims she committed suicide, a witness testified he was approached by Randolph to murder Gault. Gayna Allmon (Alive): Allmon's testimony against Randolph portrayed him as a looming threat, recounting an instance when a gun discharged while he cleaned it in her presence. Francis (Deceased, 2004): Francis died under suspicious circumstances. Allegedly, Randolph conspired to murder her in a trailer, a plan that fell through because the would-be accomplice feared Randolph would turn on him. After her death, Randolph immediately cremated her, later receiving settlements from both a hospital and her life insurance policy. Leona Stapleton (Deceased): Randolph reportedly shared with friends and family that cancer claimed Stapleton's life. The details remain shrouded in mystery. Sharon Causse (Deceased, 2008): The crux of the upcoming trial. Randolph's account of finding her dead, then shooting the assailant, Michael James Miller, has been met with skepticism, especially given the substantial life insurance payout he received after her death. Yet, as Randolph revels in the decision, not all share his enthusiasm. Causse's daughter, Colleen Beyer, candidly voiced her frustration, "Everybody needs to know he's guilty... He did it. There is no doubt. I'm really mad, I'm really angry with this system." Randolph's story is a convoluted tale of love, betrayal, and death, now on the precipice of another trial. With four wives deceased under shadowy circumstances and two insurance payouts, the public and judicial scrutiny will only intensify. The upcoming trial promises new revelations and, perhaps, some semblance of closure for the families affected by Randolph's perplexing marital history. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

This week, a 77-year-old disgraced ex-lawmaker was arrested for his suspected involvement in the 1972 stabbing death of a newly arrived 19-year-old woman in Hawaii. The Reno Gazette Journal reports that on Tuesday, September 13, authorities arrested Tudor Chirila Jr. in his apartment. He was booked into the Washoe County Jail on a complaint/warrant for being a fugitive from another state. Bandages can be visible on Chirila's neck in his booking shot, indicating that he may have tried suicide prior to his arrest. On January 7, 1972, Nancy Anderson was discovered dead in her Waikiki apartment. The woman had been stabbed "several times and died at the scene," according to the Honolulu Police Department. After decades of inactivity, the Honolulu Police Department requested assistance with DNA analysis from Parabon NanoLabs. A suspect's likeness was then drawn by the lab, and "predictions were produced for the subject's ancestry, eye color, hair color, skin color, freckling, and face shape." Chirila was charged with second-degree murder, and a warrant for his arrest was issued by the Honolulu Police Department. The criminal complaint states that at 5:29 p.m. on January 7, 1972, Honolulu Police officers responded to Anderson's apartment for a "potential suicide." After arriving at the residence, several policemen noticed a "blue and white towel with red stains near the entrance," along with additional probable blood stains and spatter throughout the apartment. Anderson apparently suffered multiple stab wounds to the torso and lower extremities. Anderson's body was reportedly discovered by her roommate Jody Spooner. She had 63 stab wounds, and her death certificate said she died of "hemorrhage due to stab wound of heart." Several suspects' DNA samples were analyzed, but the results came back negative. Chirila "may be a potential suspect in the investigation," Detective Michael Ogawa of the Honolulu Police Department learned in December 2021. He attended the University of Hawaii as a graduate student, and his records suggest that he spent some time in Hawaii around that period. Ogawa contacted a detective from the Reno Police Department in February 2022 to beg for assistance in "covertly collecting a DNA sample from Chirila." According to the press, Reno police "did not have any possibilities to secretly get Chirila's DNA sample," but in March, Ogawa contacted the Newport Beach Police Department in an attempt to obtain a DNA sample from Chirila's biological son. The son gave his assent, and the results showed that the DNA found on a towel inside Anderson's house matched the DNA found on the boy. Ogawa secured a warrant on September 1 to photograph and collect a DNA sample from Chirila. A investigator visited Chirila at her house on September 6 to collect the specimen. According to the warrant, Chirila attempted suicide on September 8. However, he is considered to have a good chance of survival. The court document states that DNA samples collected from the towel found inside Anderson's flat match those of Chirila. The Reno Gazette Journal states that Chirila practiced law in Nevada for a long time. During that time, he served as an assistant attorney general and as an attorney for the city of Reno. In 1994, he attempted but failed to become a justice on the Nevada Supreme Court. Reportedly, he was jailed in the midst of his campaign for failing to pay more than $33,000 in back child support. Prosecutors allegedly withdrew all accusations against him the following year, including those that he had kidnapped his fiancée for the purpose of rape. Chirila was the president of the infamous Mustang Ranch Brothel until he filed a lawsuit against the establishment's owner in 1998, claiming he was wrongfully terminated Apparently, as reported by CBS News After Anderson completed his high school education in Michigan, he uprooted in October 1971 and headed for Hawaii.

Welcome to Majority.FM's AM QUICKIE! Brought to you by justcoffee.coop TODAY'S HEADLINES: Intensive care units are filling up with coronavirus patients across the country. Which means that some of the sick people aren’t going to get the care they need. Meanwhile, Texas Republicans want the United States Supreme Court to overturn the presidential election in four other states. And Donald Trump wants every Republican in Congress to sign on to the case. And lastly, New York’s massive state pension fund is divesting from fossil fuels companies. Experts say it could push more major investors to follow suit. THESE ARE THE STORIES YOU NEED TO KNOW: The death panels are coming. More than a third of Americans live in areas where hospitals are running critically short of intensive care beds, according to federal data analyzed by the New York Times. And one in ten Americans lives in an area where intensive care beds are either completely full, or fewer than five percent of beds are available. At these levels, maintaining existing standards of care for the sickest patients may be impossible. The new data shows that some areas – like Amarillo, Texas, Coral Gables, Florida, and Troy, Michigan – are seeing rates of serious illness from Covid-19 that approach the levels seen in New York City during the worst weeks of the spring. Political leaders in many states are ramping up measures to try to slow the spread, the Times reports. Governor Michelle Lujan (LOO-HAN) Grisham of New Mexico, where ICUs are full across the state, is expected to soon announce that hospitals can ration care based on who is most likely to survive. Survival rates from the disease have improved as doctors have learned which treatments work, the Times says. But hospital shortages could reverse those gains, risking the possibility of increasing mortality rates once again. There is some evidence physicians are already limiting care, according to Thomas Tsai, an assistant professor of health policy at Harvard University. For the last several weeks, the rate at which Covid-19 patients are going to hospitals has started decreasing. That suggests that there’s some rationing of care as hospitals remain full, Tsai told the Times. The best way we can ease the burden on hospitals is to stop the spread – so stay home or else mask up. Texas Election Lawsuit 'Absurd' No matter how hard he scrubs, the stink of failure clings to Donald Trump. Reuters reports that an attempt by Texas Republicans to have Trump’s election loss upended by the US Supreme Court is almost certain to fail. Texas on Tuesday sued Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin in a case brought directly to the high court. The suit asks justices to throw out the voting results in those four states. It argues that changes made by the states to expand mail-in voting amid the pandemic were unlawful, Reuters reports. Election law experts who called the lawsuit laughable. Rebecca Green, a professor at William and Mary Law School in Virginia, told Reuters that Texas does not have legal standing to challenge how other states handled the election. She said QUOTE It is so outlandish. It is totally contrary to how our Constitution mandates that elections be run. The idea that a state could complain about another state’s processes is just absurd ENDQUOTE. Trump said yesterday on Twitter that he'll intervene in the case, which was filed by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton. Meanwhile, a Republican congressman who filed an amicus brief in the lawsuit said yesterday that Trump is anxiously awaiting a list of lawmakers who support the effort. The Washington Post reports that Trump called Congressman Mike Johnson of Louisiana yesterday morning. Trump asked Johnson to request that all Republican members of the House and Senate join their brief. In a letter to colleagues, Johnson said they are not seeking to litigate particular allegations of fraud – no doubt because the allegations are bogus. Rather, the Post reports, they are urging the Court to conduct a careful, timely review of the allegations. Seeing as how the Court just declined to hear another of Trump’s baseless election complaints, that’d be a big surprise. Finally, the Post reports, the Nevada Supreme Court unanimously ruled on Tuesday night to reject an appeal from Trump’s campaign to overturn the state’s election results. Loooooser! Fossil Fuels Divestment Spreads now any rich people? Let them know that the world’s wealthy will need to reduce their carbon footprints by a factor of thirty to help curb climate change. The figure comes from findings published yesterday by the United Nations Environment Program and reported in the Washington Post. Currently, the emissions attributable to the richest one percent of all people account for more than double those of the poorest fifty percent. Shifting that balance will require swift and substantial lifestyle changes, the Post says, including decreases in air travel. But there are also changes that only institutions, not individuals, can make. And some are. According to the New York Times, one of the world’s largest and most influential investors – New York State’s pension fund – will drop many of its fossil fuel stocks in the next five years. It will also and sell its shares in other companies that contribute to global warming by 2040, the state comptroller said yesterday. With $226 billion in assets, New York’s fund holds sway over other major investors. Its decision to divest from fossil fuels could help push global markets away from oil and gas companies, experts and activists told the Times. One thousand two hundred and forty six institutions have committed to shedding their investments in fossil fuels, the Times reports. Sixty thousand individuals have also divested. The total combined value of their portfolios is $14.1 trillion. The movement to dump fossil fuel stocks began as an effort to make an ethical statement and to cast polluters as pariahs, much like the push to divest from apartheid-era South Africa. But as the market shifts, coal and increasingly oil and gas have become riskier investments. It was bound to happen eventually – and hopefully not too late. AND NOW FOR SOME QUICKER QUICKIES: NBC News reports that immigrant and child advocates are increasing pressure on President-elect Joe Biden. They want him to commit to allowing parents separated from their children at the border by the Trump administration to return to the US to be reunited. Biden has said he would establish a taskforce dedicated to reuniting separated families, but his transition team has yet to reveal detailed plans. Get on that, Joe! Trump is facing a rebellion among Congressional Republicans over his threat to veto the annual Pentagon spending bill, Politico reports. A House vote on Tuesday night suggests Trump’s veto will be overridden, which hasn’t happened to him before. Well, there’s a first time for everything. Cuba said this week it has attracted $1.9 billion worth of foreign investment over the past year despite tighter US sanctions. Reuters reports that Cuba has reduced obstacles to foreign investment. For example, only projects regarding extraction of natural resources and public services will now require a majority Cuban stakeholder. What would Che say? The Federal Trade Commission and more than forty states accused Facebook yesterday of becoming a monopoly by buying up its rivals to illegally squash competition, the New York Times reports. The prosecutors called for Facebook to break off Instagram and WhatsApp, and for new restrictions on future deals. Great, now when do we start redistributing Mark Zuckerberg’s personal fortune? That’s all for the AM Quickie. Join us this afternoon on the Majority Report.

Negligence: The Bases of Construction Defect Claims and Suits https://zalma.com/blog Negligence has the same definitions regardless of the state where it is alleged. It has been defined as: “a legal duty owed to the Plaintiff by the Defendant; a breach of that duty; an actual injury to the Plaintiff; and a showing that the breach was a proximate cause of the injury.” “A breach of duty exists when it is foreseeable that one's conduct may likely injure the person to whom the duty is owed." The California Supreme Court upheld a judgment for property damage caused by negligent residential construction in Sabella v. Wisler, 59 Cal.2d 21, 27-30 (1963). The defendant had built a house and offered it for sale to the general public. As it turned out, the defendant's negligent preparation of the lot, in combination with a subcontractor's careless plumbing work, later caused leaks, subsidence, and damage to the house. The purchasers sued for negligence. The builder, arguing unsuccessfully against the imposition of tort liability, held that “the liability of a contractor should be determined by the consideration and weighing of the various factors bearing upon liability.” It was held that the builder was responsible for the ensuing damage. The Nevada Supreme Court, in answer to a question posed by a federal district court, concluded that, in a commercial property construction defect action in which the plaintiffs seek to recover purely economic losses through negligence-based claims, the economic loss doctrine applies to bar such claims against design professionals who have provided professional services in the commercial property development or improvement process. © 2020 – Barry Zalma Barry Zalma, Esq., CFE, now limits his practice to service as an insurance consultant specializing in insurance coverage, insurance claims handling, insurance bad faith and insurance fraud almost equally for insurers and policyholders.

On May 13, 2019, the Supreme Court decided Franchise Tax Board of California v. Hyatt, a case considering whether states maintain sovereign immunity from private suits in the courts of other states. In the 1990s, Gilbert Hyatt moved from California to Nevada. Following an investigation and audit, however, the Franchise Tax Board of California (FTB) claimed that he had misstated the date of his move and therefore owed California millions in unpaid taxes, penalties and interest. Hyatt then brought a tort suit against FTB, which is a California state agency, in Nevada state court--and won a jury verdict of nearly $500 million. Although the Nevada Supreme Court set aside much of the award on appeal, it nevertheless affirmed an award of $1 million for fraud--even though a Nevada statute would have capped such damages in a similar suit against Nevada officials at $50,000. Nevada’s interest in providing adequate redress to its own citizens, the court concluded, superseded the application of any statutory cap for California’s benefit.In 2016, the U.S. Supreme Court reversed that judgment, concluding that the Constitution’s Full Faith and Credit Clause required Nevada courts to grant the FTB the same level of immunity that Nevada agencies enjoy. The Court divided equally, however, on whether to overrule its 1979 precedent Nevada v. Hall, which holds that the Constitution does not bar private suits against a State in the courts of another State. By statute, the Court was therefore required to affirm the jurisdiction of the Nevada Supreme Court. On remand, that court instructed the trial court to enter damages against FTB in accord with the statutory cap for Nevada agencies. Thereafter the U.S. Supreme Court again granted certiorari to reconsider Nevada v. Hall. By a vote of 5-4, the Supreme Court reversed the judgment of the Nevada Supreme Court and remanded the case. In an opinion delivered by Justice Thomas, the Court overruled Nevada v. Hall, holding that states retain their sovereign immunity from private suits brought in courts of other states. Justice Thomas’s majority opinion was joined by the Chief Justice and Justices Alito, Gorsuch, and Kavanaugh. Justice Breyer filed a dissenting opinion, in which Justices Ginsburg, Sotomayor, and Kagan joined. To discuss the case, we have Stephen Sachs, Professor of Law at Duke University.

On January 9, 2019, the Supreme Court heard argument in Franchise Tax Board of California v. Hyatt, a case considering whether one state may, without its consent, be sued by a private citizen in another state’s courts.In the 1990s, Gilbert Hyatt moved from California to Nevada. Following an investigation and audit, however, the Franchise Tax Board of California (FTB) claimed that he had misstated the date of his move and therefore owed California millions in unpaid taxes, penalties and interest.

Nevada’s interest in providing adequate redress to its own citizens, the court concluded, superseded the application of any statutory cap for California’s benefit.California sought review in the U.S. Supreme Court, urging it to overrule the 1979 decision Nevada v. Hall, which held that one state’s courts could adjudicate a private citizen’s lawsuit against another state without the second state’s consent. The Supreme Court granted certiorari but split 4-4 on the issue, which resulted in a technical affirmance of the Nevada Supreme Court’s exercise of jurisdiction. Reaching the merits, the Court held by a vote of 6-2 that the U.S. Constitution did not permit Nevada to apply a rule of Nevada law that awarded damages against California greater than it could award against Nevada in similar circumstances.On remand, the Nevada Supreme Court reissued its vacated opinion except as to the damages portion and applied the statutory damages caps for FTB’s benefit. FTB again petitioned for certiorari, however, and the U.S. Supreme Court agreed to revisit the issue on which it had previously split 4-4: whether Nevada v. Hall, which permits a sovereign state to be haled into another state’s courts without its consent, should be overruled.To discuss the case, we have Stephen Sachs, Professor of Law at Duke University.

The 2,100 pages of witness and police statements released this week by the Las Vegas Police as a result of the Nevada Supreme Court’s order show a huge discrepancy as to police response to the shooting. Police Officer Hendrix, who happened to be at the Mandalay Bay when the shooting began, states in his report that he immediately went to the 31st Floor and heard shooting one floor above him. However, a Mandalay Bay Security Supervisor who was with him told the FBI that the two of them went to the 32nd Floor and were on the floor for at least two minutes as shots were being fired! Are the Police trying to cover up the fact that they were on Paddock’s floor during the shooting and thus could have intercepted the shooter and saved an untold number of lives? Is this why the Police fought so hard against releasing the documents? We investigate to find the hidden truth with Doug Poppa, former police officer and head of security for numerous Strip casinos. We also talk to Andrew Bringuel, a 27 year veteran of the FBI’s behavioral science unit who examines the mind of shooter Stephen Paddock.
While he was facilitating the State Bar of Nevada Strategic Planning, ALPS Executive Vice President Chris Newbold, also had the opportunity to sit down with Gene Leverty, Bar President. Nevada is contemplating requiring mandatory malpractice insurance as a condition of licensure. One of the reasons behind the move is to protect the public from engaging with an attorney that is not covered, particularly if missteps are made during that engagement. The conversation also touched on the perceptions of malpractice insurance and how to educate both the public and legal community about why coverage is important for both parties. This post is part 2 in a series centering on the discussions around mandatory malpractice insurance around the country. Listen to part 1, an interview with Doug Ende with the Washington State Bar about their process and discussions. ALPS In Brief, The ALPS Risk Management Podcast, is usually hosted by ALPS Risk Manager, Mark Bassingthwaighte. This episode is hosted by Chris Newbold, ALPS Executive Vice President. Transcript: CHRIS: Hello and welcome to ALPS in Brief. This is Chris Newbold, Executive Vice President of ALPS, and today I sit in the bar offices of the State Bar of Nevada with Gene Leverty. Gene is the President of the State Bar of Nevada, lives up in the Reno area. And today our topic is mandatory malpractice insurance. The State Bar of Nevada has been contemplating perhaps going in the direction of requiring lawyers to maintain malpractice insurance as a condition of licensure. And so Gene, why don't you talk a little bit about just how this issue arose in Nevada, and where you think it's heading. GENE: Okay. Basically our prior president, Bryan Scott, brought it and said we need to do a task force to consider it. My background with regard to why I thought it was important, and I was chairman of the task force before I was president. The reason I thought it was important goes back to my time on the Clients' Security Fund, where I found that a lot of the people that came, that had claims for the Clients' Security Fund, were really negligence cases where the attorneys had failed malpractice insurers. So I thought we needed to look at it in order to see if there was a way that we could protect the public. So we had to study it from the standpoint of the task force. We studied it in a lot of different ramifications with regard to looking at what other states did, with regard to Oregon, Illinois, Idaho. Then we looked at the unique factors in Nevada that would consider doing what Oregon did or forming a captive. We brought in the insurance commissioner, ALPS, your participation was very helpful. And it boils down to the task force moved, worked very diligently, spent a lot of time because there's a lot of elements, and we came to the conclusion that it should be mandatory. Now, in Nevada, we have statistics that we could look at because attorneys have to report whether or not they have malpractice. And if they don't. Although it's not verified. We took those statistics and we found out the ones that were honest and reported that they did not have insurance was about 15% of the bar. So we've started looking at their statistics and asking them questions in a survey to find out why they didn't have insurance. And it was surprising. Because though that 15% were not young lawyers, not solo practitioners soloing, but people that had been practicing for 20 years. And so we went into those and asked them why they didn't think malpractice insurance was necessary. We heard that. Plus we heard people that were against insurance. They came to the task force. Those with patent practices felt the payments were too high. They would move to other states to practice patent law. And we came to the conclusion after listening to the commissioner, companies, everything that mandatory insurance would be recommended to the Supreme Court. CHRIS: What are you contemplating at this point in terms of what you're going to be recommending when it comes to coverage limits and those types of things? GENE: Well, the Board of Governors adopted the task force recommendations. The Board of Governors of the State of Nevada. And they recommended that adoption of 250 limits, every lawyer be required to have that in the minimum. At that stage once the Board of Governors accepts it, which I thought was a gigantic contribution to the Bar by the Board of Governors, because they were looking to protect the public for the honor of our profession. We take that and we turn it into a proposal to present to our Nevada Supreme Court, which is the ultimate rule maker. And we've had, in fact you were present at one of our hearings, with regard to the Supreme Court where we were bringing up and trying to push for the ADKT, which we will be shortly presenting to the Supreme Court and we will have a hearing on it. We do know from a survey that we did of our general membership, where about 10% responded, that there are some that are not in favor of malpractice because they think it's too costly for solo practitioners. So we have issues and I know in discussions with the Chief Justice, Chief Justice Douglas, that the Bar is concerned about cost. What is the cost? So I think that we're moving in a positive direction. It will be presented to the Court. And the way I look at it, I believe we're doing something to protect the public, the State Bar. And now it will be shortly in the hands of our Nevada Supreme Court, to either act or not act. CHRIS: And you said you did a survey of those who don't carry malpractice insurance. What commonalities did you find amongst that group in terms of just who generally goes without insurance? GENE: Interesting. It's solo. It's small practitioners. Mostly solo. Who actually, criminal lawyers, okay, didn't feel like they needed it. And those who've been practicing 20 years without a client. They said, Why should I continue paying for insurance? And then there's a group that says, Well even if you have a claim, the insurance company doesn't pay. They'll find a reason to get out. Those were primarily the responses from the 15%. But, you know, I think that having gone to the task force in Washington, and talking and getting letters from the California task force, about malpractice. We all are looking at the same issues. We all have about the same numbers of uninsured. And those uninsureds pretty much say the same thing. But there's a movement to consider it. I really think from serving on the Clients' Security Fund and seeing how many people were really hurt by attorneys who had no malpractice insurance that the time has come to protect the public. CHRIS: And that's your principal position is that we, as a soft regulating profession, have a responsibility to insure that our lawyers, in the event they make a mistake, there's a remedy for the client? GENE: Absolutely. But I also believe that by protecting the public we're honoring our profession. Because our profession is hurt by those attorneys that don't have, when they commit negligence, don't have a remedy for their client. And you can't continue as a profession to be respected if you don't help the public. CHRIS: And how does mandatory malpractice, how does that requirement fall within the mission of your organization, the State Bar of Nevada? GENE: It's one of our ultimate missions is to protect the public. So to serve our membership and protect the public is our goal. With regard to serving the public by protecting them with regard to malpractice, trust accounts, those are important. And what we want to do is educate the lawyer to know how best to protect the public. What do we do for our profession, what do we serve them by? We serve them by, they will have more respect by the people that they serve. CHRIS: You've obviously now studied this issue pretty in depth over the course of the last year, and obviously you have experience in the insurance sector. What have you learned as part of the process that maybe surprised you as you went through this particular issue? GENE: I was surprised that if you were in business, that people were in business without insurance. I saw it a little bit, but I didn't know. I think it's even greater than the 15% that are honest. When you get down to it, I think insurance, you buy it in case you make a mistake. But you hope you don't. And my background, I was a regulator of insurance in Nevada. My practice is insurance. I believe that insurance does the right thing. And I think it's necessary. It's to avoid risk. CHRIS: And there's only two states now that require mandatory malpractice insurance. Does it surprise you? Or do you think that the public has a reasonable expectation that most lawyers have malpractice insurance? GENE: I believed that at the beginning until in preparation for our convention in Chicago in July. I worked with a focus group. I brought in a friend who, I use focus groups for trials. I said, I want to do some study on this. Surprisingly, surprisingly people, the focus groups, they were concerned if their lawyer had insurance. They thought that maybe that would demonstrate that maybe he needed it, versus praising the lawyer that had it. The next question is, would you ask your lawyer if he had malpractice insurance? And their answer was, No, because then he'd think I was going to sue him. Now we all believe that you have to have auto insurance to drive. Why shouldn't you have to have malpractice insurance to practice law. It seems to be reasonable. It's related. Doctors have to have malpractice insurance. Why shouldn't lawyers? And yet, the public is not educated as to what exactly lawyers have or don't have. But it's really surprised me that they believe that a good lawyer doesn't need malpractice insurance. CHRIS: Is it common in most other professional fields that there is some requirement of malpractice insurance? GENE: Yeah. With regard to doctors. My brother-in-law is a doctor. He's also on the Medical Board. Yeah, doctors have to have malpractice insurance to practice with regards to various hospitals. So they do have malpractice insurance, okay? I don't know about other professions. But I think that the public believes that doctors have malpractice insurance. So I'm not saying our focus group is absolutely correct because we only did a few focus groups. But I was surprised by the results. CHRIS: Well, Gene, obviously you're preparing now your support for moving toward the Nevada Supreme Court in terms of some type of a decision. What's that process look like? And what do you think the timeline looks like? GENE: We held back the malpractice while we pushed forward on the random trust accounts. That ADKT has been heard by our Supreme Court. So we will be shortly presenting to the Supreme Court what we refer to as an ADKT on malpractice insurance. Having met with the Chief Justice, which we do on a regular basis, of the Nevada Supreme Court, his expressed interest is in the cost. What is it going to cost? And basically putting my head around the cost comes down to basically 85% of our Bar has malpractice insurance. So we're not talking about the 85%, what it's going to cost them. We're talking about what the cost is to the 15% that are currently uninsured. And I don't think that that cost is going to be that substantial. Because we have had quotes with regard to that. I believe that even in Las Vegas, which has a higher incidence of claims, I think that we can provide it to every lawyer for about one hour of their time, 250 an hour for a month, to go towards their malpractice should be what it costs. So I think we can sell it to the Court if they're willing to listen. CHRIS: Well, good. And we've always argued that for the fractional cost of a billable hour per month the peace of mind in terms of client protection, and lawyer protection frankly, is the right way to go. GENE: Actually when you met with our Supreme Court, when you made that statement I picked it up, and I carry it because I think that's a good message to send. CHRIS: Well, Gene, thank you. I appreciate your hard work on this issue. It's obviously an interesting subject and one that other states are looking at, and keep us posted. GENE: Okay. Thank you, Chris. CHRIS: Thank you.

Six states have passed laws to address revenge porn, but critics say those laws may infringe upon First Amendment rights and subject people to needless criminal prosecution. Critics of anti-revenge porn laws believe the laws as drafted are overly broad, fail to exempt acceptable behavior, and create a chilling effect on otherwise legal expression. On this follow up episode of Lawyer 2 Lawyer, hosts Bob Ambrogi and J. Craig Williams interview Lee Rowland from the ACLU and Marc Randazza from the Randazza Legal Group. Together we discuss the potentially harmful components of non-consensual porn legislation and consider alternative avenues of redress for victims.
