Nevada Supreme Court Summaries
The Nevada Supreme Court found that the district court acted within its discretion in dismissing Rural Telephone Company’s (Rural Telephone) petition for judicial review against the Public Utilities Commission of Nevada (PUCN) because the district court did not have authority to grant Rural Telephone’s request for an extension of time to file its opening memorandum of points and authorities, through statute or through its inherent authority.

Upstanders, Whistle-Blowers, And Rescuers, Martha Minow
Utah Law Review
Communities of responsibility and the cultures that nurture them take many steps to build. An important step is to honor remarkable individuals with courage and commitment. Raphael Lemkin, Benjamin Ferencz, Luis Moreno Ocampo, Emmanuel Uwurukundo, Samantha Power, filmmaker Edet Belzberg, and Victor Koningsberger deserve recognition and honor. At the same time, we need to emphasize that an upstander does not need extraordinary qualities. Ordinary people can and do stand up in small and big ways against oppression and injustice. Education can help. Speeches can help. When we honor heroes, we should not simply recognize individual courage. Doing so can help …

Pokémon Go Away: Augmented Reality Games Pose Issues With Trespass And Nuisance, Kate Motsinger
San Diego Law Review
To illustrate the necessity of a permanent remedy—a virtual prescriptive easement—this Comment begins by exploring the origins of AR games in Part II and providing an overview of the mechanics of the most popular AR mobile game, Pokémon Go, as well as the types of AR games and technology currently in development. Part III then considers different causes of action that individuals might bring against creators of AR mobile games under the doctrines of trespass and nuisance, respectively. After weighing the merits and pitfalls of each claim in Part III, this Comment submits that a virtual prescriptive easement is the …

Northwestern University Law Review
The practical disappearance of the jury trial ranks among the most widely examined topics in American criminal justice. But, by focusing on trial scarcity, scholars have managed to tell only part of the story. The unexplored first-order question is whether juries even do their work well. And the answer to that question turns on the kinds of work jury members are typically required to do. Once upon a time, trials turned upon practical reasoning and general moral blameworthiness. Modern trials have come to focus upon legal reasoning and technical guilt accuracy. In turn, the jury has evolved from a flexible …

The Next Best Defendant: Examining A Remote Text Sender's Liability Under Kubert V. Best, Christopher P. Edwards
Akron Law Review
Texting and driving is a dangerous activity that is responsible for many of the avoidable accidents that occur due to distracted driving. While many state legislatures have responded by enacting formal prohibitions on texting and driving, the penalties are far less severe than other forms of distracted driving, namely driving while intoxicated. While a texting driver is exposed to some liability for their conduct, the text sender generally bears no responsibility. While prohibiting texting and driving on the part of the recipient-driver is the more obvious approach to addressing the issue, the very nature of texting requires the participation of …

The Court held that the business judgment rule defense alone does not mandate waiver of attorney-client privilege related to discovery documents. The Court also adopted the “because of” test with a “totality of the circumstances” standard to determine when a document falls under the work-product privilege.

Nevada Supreme Court Summaries
The Court determined that the NRS 116.3116 provisions that grant homeowners’ associations (HOAs) superpriority lien status for delinquent HOA dues are not preempted by federal law when the first deed of trust on the property in question is insured through the Federal Housing Administration (FHA). The FHA insurance program at issue contemplates HOA lien priority schemes like NRS 116.3116 specifically. Mortgagees can comply with relevant state and federal law without stifling the purpose of the federal law, and therefore, preemption does not apply.

Victimhood & Agency: How Taking Charge Takes Its Toll, Pam A. Mueller
Pepperdine Law Review
This Article addresses an unexplored tension in the civil justice system regarding victims. The goal of the civil system is to make victims whole. We can, as is most common, attempt to do this financially, or we can consider psychological research that suggests there may be other ways of restoring victims’ statuses. One of the most common nonfinancial solutions is to increase victim participation in the justice process. This is a solution that appeals to many victims and may benefit them psychologically. However, by increasing their participation, they may unknowingly trade off some of the benefits of victimhood. For instance, …

We will never have enough lawyers to serve the civil legal needs of all low- and moderate-income (LMI) individuals who must navigate civil legal problems. A significant part of the access-to-justice toolkit must include self-help materials. That much is not new; indeed, the legal aid community has been actively developing pro se guides and forms for decades. But the community has hamstrung its creations in two major ways: first, by focusing these materials almost exclusively on educating LMI individuals about formal law, and second, by considering the task complete once the materials have been made available to self-represented individuals. In …

The Nevada Supreme Court interpreted the NRS 17.030–17.080 judgment debtor statutes and found: (1) that a joint debtor action gives rise to a final, appealable judgment that precludes review through a petition for extraordinary writ relief; and (2) that the principles governing extraordinary writ relief prevent a petitioner from challenging a void order when the petitioner had the opportunity to appeal the challenged order.

Naming all relevant parties as defendants, pursuant to NRS 612.530(1), is a mandatory jurisdictional requirement. Failure to follow this statutory requirement deprives the district court of its jurisdiction to hear a petition for judicial review.
