I'll Allow it Nevada

Inside Nevada's Advisory Council for Prosecuting Attorneys (Ep. 49)

Listen

Description

Description:

In this episode of I'll Allow It, Nevada!, we take a look at how Nevada law is shaped before it ever reaches the courtroom. We're joined by Michael Morton, Special Assistant Attorney General and Executive Director of the Nevada Advisory Council for Prosecuting Attorneys, to discuss how prosecutorial experience informs policy, legislation, and statewide coordination.

Nevada's citizen legislature relies heavily on practitioner expertise, and the Advisory Council plays a key role in training prosecutors, promoting consistency across jurisdictions, and advising lawmakers on emerging legal issues. The conversation explores how issues move from daily practice to legislative consideration, why uniform administration of justice matters in a geographically diverse state, and what judges should understand about the infrastructure supporting prosecution in Nevada.
