I'll Allow it Nevada

Description: On this episode of I'll Allow It Nevada, we're joined by Sr. Judge Richard Glasson to dive into one of the most fundamental topics in the courtroom: evidence.

Along the way, we discuss how judges can think about evidence in practical terms, how to distinguish evidence from argument or speculation, and why having a clear understanding of these basics leads to more confident and consistent decision-making on the bench.   State Bar of Nevada CLE Course ID: P_20260330_50632 Certificate of Attendance: https://ow.ly/ooSi50UnWjZ   Learning Objectives: Define "evidence" in the context of courtroom proceedings and explain its role in the fact-finding process.
