 Motorist Litigation
     

Uninsured motorist (UM) and underinsured motorist (UIM) claims are commonly misunderstood by attorneys due to the ever-changing interpretation of statutes and public policy in the state.

 

This seminar, presented by Jay Kenyon and Justin Watkins, will explain the statutes governing UM/UIM coverage and the difficult scenarios that attorneys may encounter when asserting a claim. It will also describe the damages that may be allowable, and how to best present a case for settlement or trial.

Reno Ranks in Top 20 at National We the People Competition
 

State champ, Reno High School, ranked 19th out of the 56 teams competing in the national We the People Competition. The competition took place at George Mason University, in Fairfax, Virginia, April 26 to 30. The bar congratulates the Reno High School team for all its hard work!

 

The State Bar of Nevada has sponsored the We the People program for more than 10 years. During competition, students answer questions regarding the United States Constitution and the Bill of Rights. Students earn points by answering questions provided prior to competition and non-scripted questions created by the panel of judges during competition. Judges rate students on the depth and accuracy of their answers as well as their overall presentation skills.

Justices Honor Liberty Bell Recipients and Law Day Contest Winners

 

On May 2, four Nevada Supreme Court justices presented the Clark County Law Foundation's annual Liberty Bell Award to George and Doree Dickerson and Judge Gloria Sturman. The ceremony, which took place at Centennial Plaza where a replica of the Liberty Bell is displayed, was part of this year's Nevada Law Week activities.

 

Following the Liberty Bell Award ceremony, Justice Cherry presented trophies and prizes to the elementary, middle and high school students who won the Law Day poster and essay contests sponsored by the Young Lawyer's Section. That event was held at the Lloyd George Federal Courthouse.

 

The Liberty Bell Award honors community leaders who promote a greater respect for the law and government. The award is a partnership between the Clark County Law Foundation's Let Freedom Ring Committee and the City of Las Vegas.

 

To learn more about the Clark County Law Foundation or the Liberty Bell Awards, please contact Jade Deitrick at (702) 333-8277 or [email protected]. For more information on this year's honorees, visit the Clark County Law Foundation's website.

Historic Courthouse Changes Ownership

 

Nye County has taken over ownership of the historic Belmont Courthouse from the state of Nevada, giving a piece of Nevada judicial history an opportunity for renewed life. The historic, two-story courthouse was completed in 1876 and served as the county courthouse for 29 years. The non-profit organization Friends of the Belmont Courthouse will now maintain and restore the building.

 

As it has done in the past, Friends of the Belmont Courthouse will open the courthouse for tours and exhibits on Memorial Day, Fourth of July and Labor Day weekends. Private tours and other access can also be arranged by appointment. More information on the historic courthouse can be found on the Friends of the Belmont Courthouse website.
