Nevada Supreme Court denies Halverson writ

Yesterday the Nevada Supreme Court entered an Order Denying Petition for Writ of Mandamus or Prohibition in Halverson v. Nevada Commission on Judicial Discipline. The Court finds that Halverson's due process rights were not violated and that "she has articulated no prejudice other than speculative damage to her reelection campaign, which is not the type of interest that is protected by by due process." The Court also notes that the Judicial Discipline Commission has erroneously constructed NRS 1.4663 and 1.4667 to require that investigation be complete before a finding of probable cause is made and formal charges filed. It further notes that formal charges can be supplemented if supported by additional investigation.
