Do not miss close friend of the RELS, Rory Reid, addressing the Law School on Tuesday, September 30. Socializing will begin around 12:00 and Rory will begin his address a little after 12:30, 1L's will have plenty of time to make it after their 12:25 class. RELS members who attend the event are welcome to a free meal at Chipotle following Rory's remarks. Rory was raised in Las Vegas and received his Juris Doctorate in 1988 from BYU. At 30 he became the senior vice president and general counsel of the Lady Luck Casino. After his tenure as corporate counsel, he became a shareholder at Lionel Sawyer & Collins. He served as the chairperson for the Nevada Democratic Committee and is currently serving as Clark County Commission Chairperson. Las Vegas Life magazine recently named Rory “Best Upcoming Politician in Southern Nevada.” A poll of 601 voters was recently conducted to determine who would likely be the next Governor. Rory was the clear favorite, beating likely candidates Jim Gibbons and Barbara Buckley by a fair margin. Currently the only contender that would give Rory a run for his money is the current Mayor of Las Vegas and RELS member Oscar Goodman. RELS members may recall that the first time Oscar publicly declared his desire for a possible 2010 gubernatorial run was to the RELS last spring. Do not miss this event.
