The time Nersesian was chastised by the Nevada Supreme Court ...
.... on appeal of the Imperial Palace/Grosjean ruling* -
But in overturning the punitive damage award, the court said Nersesian wrongly asked the jury to punish the Imperial Palace for not making substantial charitable contributions despite being a highly profitable corporation. He said the casino gave $3,026 to charity despite making $7 million.
The court said Nersesian violated the so-called “golden rule” by asking jurors to place themselves in the position of Grosjean. And the Imperial Palace claimed Nersesian cried and brought his personal feelings into the case during his presentation.
The court said professional conduct standards prohibit an attorney from expressing personal opinions regarding the justness of a cause.
