Nevada Judiciary

Chief Justice Nancy Saitta has accepted the award from the American Bar Association to honor the Nevada Supreme Court for having the nation’s best Law Day program in 2011.

The Law Day Outstanding Activity Award, honoring the state’s innovative Law Day Live program that focused on the rights of the accused to be represented by lawyers, was presented on Feb. 2 during a luncheon at the ABA’s Midyear Meeting in New Orleans.

“This is a great honor for the Supreme Court and for Nevada,” Chief Justice Saitta said.  “I am gratified that the ABA recognized the efforts of all those in the justice system and the educators who worked so hard to make this unique learning experience possible.”
