Long time readers of this blog will surely remember Las Vegas Judge Elizabeth Halverson—who was removed from the bench following a long soap opera consisting of allegations that she made her bailiff rub her feet, and other petty abuses of power (in addition to dining with jurors and falling asleep on the bench).To browse the many highly amusing Halverson related posts on this blog, see here.

And now this from Above the Law:
"A one-time legal assistant to ousted District Judge Elizabeth Halverson won a $50,000 judgment Tuesday in the defamation case she filed against Halverson in 2007. District Judge David Wall on Tuesday ordered Halverson to pay the money and to return files to the assistant, Ileen Spoor….For our prior coverage of the Spoor vs. Halverson libel suit, see here (think Alien vs. Predator).
"Wall denied Spoor’s claim for $100,000 in punitive damages. Halverson did not attend the proceedings."
