Join the LGBT Law Section

 

The state bar's Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) Law Section's goal is to educate Nevada's legal community on legal issues impacting the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community; to monitor emerging legal trends; and to participate in legislative hearings and judicial proceedings effecting LGBT persons. The section also provides a professional and social support network for LGBT members of Nevada's legal community and their allies, in all areas of professional practice.  

 

This section is perfect for those interested in promoting justice for the LGBT community in, and through, the legal profession, or for those just wanting to learn more about current and developing legal issues impacting the LGBT community. To learn more or to join, visit the section's webpage.

State Bar Endorses ALPS

 

The State Bar of Nevada is pleased to announce its exclusive endorsement of lawyers' professional liability insurance carrier ALPS. The bar's decision to endorse ALPS is based on the company's proven track record of providing stable, responsibly priced malpractice insurance to its policyholders nationwide.

 

"As a direct writer, our members are able to access ALPS staff easily. This includes their knowledgeable claims attorneys and risk management team," said State Bar of Nevada Executive Director Kimberly Farmer.

 

Founded in 1988, ALPS is now endorsed by, or affiliated with, more state bar associations than any other carrier. Long a supporter of the organized bar, ALPS has demonstrated itself as a trusted resource to the legal community. ALPS was founded by lawyers 25 years ago, and is still broadly staffed by lawyers.  

 

"There is an inherent understanding of the profession that other malpractice insurers just can't provide," said Farmer. For more on ALPS, visit the organization's website.

Law Firms Encouraged to Host Unpaid Student Interns from UNLV
