The State Bar of Nevada is looking for qualified individuals to fill open positions on several volunteer boards. To volunteer, submit an online application form by May 16.
The State Bar of Nevada is seeking passionate and dedicated volunteers to join the High School Mock Trial Committee. The Mock Trial Committee, which includes up to 15 members, provides direction for and oversees the operations of the regional and state Nevada high school mock trial competitions. The committee meets two or three times outside the mock trial competition. The majority of the committee’s time commitment comes during the spring when the two regional and one state championship occur.
The Northern Nevada Disciplinary board is seeking volunteer attorneys and lay members to fill open positions. The disciplinary boards are responsible for conducting screenings and hearings for the Office of Bar Counsel. Board members are appointed to panels to hear the presentation of cases where there are allegations of misconduct.
The Clients’ Security Fund (CSF) Committee has an open attorney position. The committee is responsible for making financial resources available to reimburse victims of attorney theft. Attorney committee members investigate 10 to 15 claims filed with the CSF each year. All committee members analyze the claims to determine if attorney fees were earned and/or if attorney theft took place, evaluate the ongoing financial condition of the CSF, and approve or deny reimbursement requests in accordance with these factors.
The Lawyer Advertising Advisory Committee has an open position. The committee meets once per month to review attorney advertisements submitted pursuant to bar regulations and renders advance advisory opinions upon request. Because much of the review and communication will be online, the best candidates should be proficient with computers, e-mail, and internet use. Committee members are appointed by the Board of Governors to two-year terms.
