From Dean Dan - April 3, 2020

I want to thank Associate Dean Christine Smith for working to keep our Community Service Program working so well serving Nevadans. Our partnerships with the Legal Aid Center of Southern Nevada and Nevada Legal Services are going strong. Our students and community partners and attorneys continue to offer free legal education classes online. We have not missed a class. Classes include free legal education on bankruptcy, family law, guardianship, immigration, and small claims. This longstanding partnership with leaders like Barbara Buckley at Legal Aid is an important service to our community and our state.

I also very much want to thank Christine for putting together a terrific set of webinar CLEs and other interesting legal discussions. These kinds of policy discussions are more important than ever and are good for what ails us. They can be found here and we'll let you know of other interesting opportunities that come our way.

Thank you to Nevada State Senator and UNLV Boyd law student Yvanna Cancella for her service on Governor Sisolak’s new COVID-19 task force, chaired by Jim Murren. Yvanna is one of the great leaders in our state, and I am grateful for all her work on our behalf.

Be well,

Dan
