you know my family has a history of law
my father
is a very recognized litigation attorney
in this town
my stepmother is a currently serving on
nevada’s supreme court uh formerly as
the chief justice
i’ve been an attorney over 30 years i
have two sons that have followed me in
the law and they work with me in this
firm taylor and zachary and so the
morris family in nevada has been
involved in the practice of law
for well over 60 years and we’re one of
the few
i guess families
in the entire state of nevada where
there are three generations of
practicing attorneys and so i guess
initially it started off i knew my
father was an attorney and i always
admired the work that he did and i kind
of followed him in to that profession
yes i’ve been involved uh in the
community in several different
non-profit organizations over the years
i’ve been involved kind of indirectly
with the bar in doing training and
education at continuing legal education
seminars i’m the past president of the
southern nevada estate planning council
it’s an organization devoted to you know
educating attorneys on current
developments and changes in the law
especially as they relate to estate
planning
but currently i’ve kind of
focused my my community service on the
university of nevada las vegas
i feel like the university provides a
wonderful opportunity for the youth of
our community to be educated and trained
and so i’m currently i in the past i’ve
served on advisory panels and on
advisory boards but i’m currently
serving
as the chairman of the uh board for the
college of liberal arts and i just enjoy
working with the people at unlv and and
seeing and sharing their enthusiasm for
the young people of our community
