Mr. Young is perhaps one of the most experienced and knowledgeable legal practitioners I have had the privilege of working with in my career in law. Not only does his Nevada Law Blog offer hundreds of attorneys, both in and out of our jurisdiction, critical legal information, but the Las Vegas community at large. Mr. Young serves as a fantastic mentor to young and emerging attorneys in the Las Vegas community as well as maintains a reputation for legal excellence and integrity. Mr. Young would serve as a phenomenal Discovery Hearing Master given his decades of knowledge stemming from his diverse practice, his service as an arbitrator, as well as overall legal acumen.

I submit this comment in support of Jay Young as Discovery Hearing Master.
Mr. Young is the consummate professional with the depth of knowledge and the professional tact necessary to serve as Discovery Hearing Master.
Mr. Young dedicates his career to civil practice. Over his quarter century of experience, Mr. Young has handled a wide variety of civil cases, ranging from tort claims related to personal injury to exceedingly complex business disputes. Much further, Mr. Young authored the Nevada State Court Litigation Checklist. From that strong foundation, Mr. Young has arbitrated and mediated hundreds of civil disputes as a neutral, qualifying him to serve as a Discovery Hearing Master.
Mr. Young’s professionalism is born from his unwavering moral compass. There is no doubt that Mr. Young is a zealous and determined advocate for his clients; but he does not cross the line of professionalism that should be expected of every member of the Bar. While Mr. Young certainly abides by our Rules of Professional Conduct, the Rules are the minimum standards expected of licensed professionals. Mr. Young exceeds such minimum standards by leaps and bounds on a daily basis not because the Rules require him to do so, but because that is who he is – the quintessential gentleman lawyer, whose temperament is uniquely suited to serve as a balanced, neutral.
I fully support the consideration of Mr. Young as Discovery Hearing Master. I would not be half the lawyer I am today without his mentoring, advice, compassion, and personal commitment.

Over an eighteen year period, I along with many others have spent countless hours traveling, singing, and enjoying Jay Young’s quick whit. He is a good man, a gifted singer, a team player, patient, compassionate, and strong in his values. I don’t believe you could find a more suitable person to be the Discover Hearing Master.
