Nevada retracts its petition to adopt Model Rule 8.4(g)

In my most recent post, I wrote that the Tennessee Bar Association has asked the state's supreme court to adopt an amended version of ABA Model Rule 8.4(g).  In that post, I mentioned that at one point, it looked like Nevada would be the first state to adopt the rule, but that I had not seen news that it had. 

One of my readers then sent me a message with an update from Nevada.  A few months ago, in reaction to the opposition to the proposed new rule, the Nevada Bar backed off its rule change petition in a letter to the state high court declaring “it prudent to retract.” The Board’s request was granted September 25, 2017.
