Backman v. Gelbman [State of Nevada], 141 Nev. Adv. Op. 8 (Feb. 13, 2025)
Full text linkThis case pertains to the determination of which child support order controls the calculation of a 20-percent change in income in NRS 125B.145(4). Under this statute, the district court is required to conduct a review of the child support order when the obligor parent’s gross monthly income changes by at least 20-percent. In interpretating NRS 125.145(4), the district court did not require a review hearing when a 20-percent change in income had not occurred since the most recent hearing. However, the Nevada Court of Appeals held that a proper interpretation of the statute’s limit on judicial discretion requires mandatory review when a 20-percent change has occurred from the time of the last substantive order which set forth the child support obligation. Additionally, the Nevada Court of Appeals clarifies that prima facie evidence is the standard for determining whether sufficient evidence exists to prove these changed circumstances
Keynote Address: Envisioning Wage Justice
Full text linkIn this Keynote address for the Minnesota Journal of Law & Inequality’s Symposium, “Not Just Wages,” held at the University of Minnesota Law School on April 11, 2025, I discuss the evolving concept of wage justice, using the lens of Critical Wage Theory and its origins in pioneering theories of race, labor and justice. The Article outlines the legal frameworks that have defined the content of wage justice in the twenty-first century, particularly for marginal workers. This Article raises the alarm about the impact of political change on low-wage workers, using case studies and analysis of administrative agency enforcement of rights for low wage workers in the recent past. The Article further mines the intersection of legal structures and wage justice, highlighting the gaps in protection that befall marginal workers. Arguing that a holistic approach to race and class is especially needed in these times fraught with political and organizing challenges, I argue for a continued re-envisioning of racial and wage justice
