My Heart Will Go On

• More money for specialty courts. [nvcourts.gov; RJ]
• A disciplinary panel is deciding what it will recommend to the Supreme Court of Nevada on the fate of Brian Bloomfield. (The comments offer some interesting insight into how some of the public feels about the situation.) [RJ]
• In light of the mention of suicide and depression in that last article, we'll take this time to remind you that there are other options. This is a tough profession. There will be hard times. When there are, don't give into despair. Please reach out to those around you for help. Things can get better.

Mitch Cobeaga, LCL Coordinator

If you, or any lawyer in Nevada, are in need of confidential assistance with an alcohol, drug, depression, stress or gambling problem, help is readily available through the LCL Hotline.When calling, leave your first name and telephone number. A fellow lawyer, who has also had problems, will call you back. You'll be listened to with an understanding heart rather than scorn, judgment and condemnation. You can talk frankly. The person returning your call is solving problems just like yours, and is living happily and usefully doing so.
