Description:
On this episode of I'll Allow It Nevada, we're joined by Sr. Judge Richard Glasson to dive into one of the most fundamental topics in the courtroom: evidence.
Before getting into objections, admissibility, or complex rulings, this conversation goes back to first principles and focuses on a simple but essential question: What is evidence?
We explore the core definition of evidence and the different forms it can take in the courtroom, including witness testimony, documents, physical objects, and recordings. While these forms may look very different, they all serve the same essential function.
Along the way, we discuss how judges can think about evidence in practical terms, how to distinguish evidence from argument or speculation, and why having a clear understanding of these basics leads to more confident and consistent decision-making on the bench.

Description:
Join us on this episode of I'll Allow It, Nevada where we take an inside look at Youth Achieving Recovery (YAR) Court. This Reno Municipal Court specialty court is designed specifically for young adult misdemeanor offenders between the ages of 18 and 25 who are struggling with substance use disorders or co-occurring mental health conditions.
Presided over by Judge Justin Champagne, YAR Court recognizes that young adults are developmentally distinct from older offenders and often require a different approach, one that balances accountability with structured support, individualized treatment, and consistent engagement.
In this conversation, we explore why early intervention during the 18–25 age range can be transformative, how the YAR Court model is structured, and what lessons it offers for courts seeking to respond more effectively to young adult offenders.
