First not guilty verdict this morning!! A bench trial for a prostitution charge, and the officer insisted that my client was a prostitute because of what she was wearing… NOT TODAY SIR. It’s 2023, come on.

The Clark County Public Defender's office provides important services like counseling for domestic violence and DUIs.

Yesterday, I presented them with $175,000 that I helped secure so they can continue to prevent crime and reduce recidivism.

Personally, I walked away stronger in my conviction that pain perpetuates pain, and the death penalty only recycles it. Commutation now, abolition soon!!

Utter humanity on display before the Pardons Board in Nevada today. Conviction, grief, compassion, outrage, courage, anger, and mercy…a lesson in confronting it & holding it all at once.

Also - abolish the freakin bar exam!! Nearly everyone agrees it’s flawed and not a good indicator of success in the field. It’s a burden (financially, emotionally, etc). It’s an oppressive gatekeeper. A hazing ritual. BURN IT ALL DOWN.

Thinking about my friends awaiting bar results today. Please remember that you are inherently worthy & whole just as you are. one test does not define your self worth or capacity to practice law. say it with me: “I am capable. I trust myself. I will be okay no matter what.” 🫶

Justice Sotomayor, "WHEN DOES THE LIFE OF A WOMAN... PUTTING HER LIFE AT RISK... WHEN DOES THAT ENTER THE CALCULUS??"

[Melissa Murray (@ProfMMurray on Threads 🧵) @ProfMMurray]

So many men talking.

Justice Sotomayor: Can this Court "survive the stench" of this decision being seen as political. "How will we survive?"
