New Nevada Advertising Rules

The Nevada Supreme Court unanimously approved major changes to its rules governing lawyer advertising, according to a press release issued last week. The new rules will go into effect on September 1. Lawyers "must submit their ads to the State Bar within 15 days after publication or broadcast. If an ad is deemed to be inaccurate or misleading, it must be pulled." A lawyer may get approval of an ad from the State Bar by submitting it prior to publication. (Mike Frisch)
