“Enough”

The Nevada Supreme Court affirmed the imposition of a public admonishment of a hearing master

During juvenile court proceedings, Hearing Master Henry questioned a minor about her cell phone. When the minor’s attorney, Aaron Grigsby, refused to answer the question on his client’s behalf and interfered when Hearing Master Henry attempted to question the juvenile directly, Hearing Master Henry shouted “enough” at Grigsby several times. Hearing Master Henry also threatened to call the attorney who assigned Grigsby’s conflict cases based on his continued objections to Hearing Master Henry’s questions and his request to transfer the case to another judge. Hearing Master Henry then increased her probation recommendation regarding the minor from six months to nine months because the minor would not answer her question.

The court affirmed the misconduct findings and evidentiary rulings below.

The case is In The Matter of the Honorable Jennifer Henry. (Mike Frisch)
