AG hopeful Laxalt was described in law firm evaluation as a "train wreck," borderline incompetent to practice

by Jon Ralston

Republican AG hopeful Adam Laxalt was described by his firm's evaluation committee as "a train wreck" who "doesn't even have the basic skill set," according to a review of his performance two years ago.

The assessment by the Lewis & Roca Associate Evaluation and Compensation Committee (AECC) suggested that Laxalt attend seminars to "address basic legal principles" because of his "horrible reviews" and because he "has judgment issues and doesn't seem to understand what to do."

The recommendation: A "freeze in salary, deferral, and possible termination."

The summary of the findings, which I have obtained, authenticated and posted below, is incredibly scathing and derogatory. The conclusion: "You need to work on the quality of your work. You need to work on your legal writing skills."

4. "His self-assessment was glowing." "There were typos in his self-assessment."

Sounds like Romney.

6. Here's the first paragraph of Rmoneys

endorsement of this tool.

“Nevadans have a great opportunity to elect a bright, experienced and qualified lawyer as their next Attorney General. Adam Laxalt is a veteran of the U.S. Navy and served in a critically-important capacity as a JAG officer in Iraq, helping put away some of the world's most dangerous people. He has been a leader in our military, and he will be a great leader for Nevada."

5. I'd love to know which of his former

colleagues leaked this. Just reading the review you can bet there were a lot of people at that firm considering it.
