CARSON CITY (AP) — The Nevada Supreme Court has approved revisions to the state code of judicial conduct, the first major update in nearly 20 years on how judges should behave.

One major change is that judges will now have an obligation to report misconduct by another judge or lawyer if they have information indicating a “substantial likelihood” of a violation.

Existing rules only required reporting if a judge has knowledge of “known misconduct.”

The new rule also mandates a judge take appropriate action when they believe another judge or lawyer’s performance is impaired by drugs, alcohol or a mental, emotional, or physical condition.

I know of a judge and a few lawyers who must be very uncomfortable with this new rule. 

The Nevada Supreme Court will soon be reviewing the misconduct of the Judge, lawyers (Mary Dugan, Kent Robison, Charles Hilsabeck & John Arrascada), Athletic Director Cary Groth, and President Milton Glick in my case.

One can only imagine what the Supreme Court is going to say about these lawyers' and the judge's misconduct. 

The Supreme Court has already reviewed a sampling of the fraud in my case. 

Happy New Year!
