NV: Elko seeks a p.d.

Elko County, Nevada has an opening for a deputy public defender:

Nevada bar license is preferred, but is NOT required, as long as the applicant is a licensed member of the bar, in good standing, from another state. Nevada Supreme Court Rule 49.9 allows for a Deputy Public Defender in a rural Nevada county to be waived in to practice for up to 2 years pending passage of the Nevada bar exam. The starting salary is $50,000 to $60,000 per year...

Doesn't suck. The Ruby Mountains are beautiful, particularly around Lamoille. I'm partial to Jarbidge and its surroundings. There's the famous cowboy poetry slam. And Basque food... mmm, Basque food. Plus, it's 2 hours or less to that true meeting point of Northeastern Nevadans, the Costco in Twin Falls, Idaho.

This (ex-pat) Nevadan adds another vote for Elko. I wish the entire state was still more like Elko.

Yes, but how far is it from Vegas?

325 looooong miles! But it's only 65 miles to the Idaho border and the bustling resort of Jackpot.
