- Q. Do I have to submit a exhibits file with my writ of mandate if I do a paper filing?
- A: Each local Superior Court has specific rules in addition to the governing statutes. You can call the court in which you're filing the Writ and get assistance from their Help Desk who are accustomed to informing In Pro Per (acting as their own attorney). Good luck!
- Q. I am a registered nurse, but my current job does not require an RN license. Do I have to keep my license current?
- A: You are not required to maintain active RN licensure in CA but it is "best practices" to put your license on Inactive Status if you are not completing continuing education (maintaining clinical competency) and are not working under your RN license. However, many RNs prefer to keep their licenses active for employment opportunities and other factors and continue to pay annual dues while renewing every 2 years.
- Q. I need a lawyer that knows about filing appeals Under NRS233B.130 on an Administrative Hearing What type of lawyer?
- A: You want an Admin. Law attorney but we are unable to assist you at this time, so you can call your local County Bar Association (Clark County, etc.) and secure a referral to qualified legal representation. However, I wanted to caution that you are required to file within 30 days of the adverse action so "time is of the essence." Good luck!
