Work Release: If you opt for this alternative Probation Department will select a site where you will have to work. During the day you can work at the site and go back to your home at night.

Drug or Alcohol Rehabilitation: In most cases it has been noticed that the offender is addicted to drug or alcohol. If the offense is a result of this addiction jail time will probably do no good to you. In that case you may be sent to the drug or alcohol rehabilitation center instead of jail.

Electronic Monitoring: It is also known as “House Arrest”. If you opt for this DUI Nevada jail alternative you will have to wear an ankle bracelet which will monitor your movements you will be allowed to go to work but it you will have to get back on time.

Tell your lawyer which alternative is ideal for you and he will make sure that the judgment goes in your favor.

When a drunk 17 year old acts rowdy at a Nevada casino and is compelled to leave, can he sue the casino when he gets in a car wreck because he is drunk? More importantly, can he win?

The answer to the first question is that he could sue since his lawyers were trying to convince the court that a casino ought to be negligent for evicting a drunk 17 year old. Since the lawyers were trying to expand Nevada law, their lawsuit was not considered frivolous by our justices in black robes. In other words, the lawyers were trying to carve out an exception to Nevada’s lack of dram shop laws.

However, since Nevada does not have dram shop liability laws that allow people to sue taverns or casinos when they get in a wreck after driving, this 17 year old lost his case in District Court on summary judgment and lost again at the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court did not agree that minors should be the exception. We Nevadan’s don’t want our biggest industry, the gaming industry, to be sued every time some drunken fool gets hurt or hurts someone.

After this decision, lawyers probably ought not try to sue under this legal theory in the future. Trying the first time could be considered “attempting to expand Nevada law” but trying again could be considered frivolous.

Knowing and using the law to ensure people are treated justly is a calling that came to me one day when I had hiked to the top of Frenchman Mountain, overlooking Las Vegas, and realized that none of what I saw below could exist without law and order. I then applied for and was accepted into law school and studied the areas of law that I thought had the greatest impact on lives, including family law, property law, and criminal law.
