How tough was it to grow up in Reno, attend the University of Nevada, Reno, then come to southern Nevada and archrival UNLV for law school?

Growing up in Reno for most of my life, I have bled silver and blue. Unfortunately, I had to make a choice that doesn’t look good to my fellow Wolf Pack alumni. It is tough seeing the red around this campus and getting constant flak from my Boyd peers who attended UNLV, but it is all in good fun and I enjoy the rivalry. I will always support the Pack!

We are fortunate at the law school to have outstanding partnerships with the Nevada Judiciary. We are honored to welcome courts to come sit at Boyd, and next week we have a milestone. For the first time the Nevada Supreme Court is sitting en banc at the law school, and all seven justices will hear oral arguments. This is a wonderful opportunity for our students and we are excited and grateful. ​​
