Lizzie R. Hatcher - 1954-02-08 to 2024-08-15
Lizzie R. Hatcher, Esq., was a longtime member of the Nevada bar, admitted to practice on January 13, 1983.

Mrs. Hatcher was among the African American women attorneys who helped shape the legal community of Las Vegas. She was associated with the Las Vegas Chapter of the National Bar Association, and her photograph is preserved in that organization's archive housed at the UNLV William S. Boyd School of Law - a lasting record of her place in the city's legal history.
Born on February 8, 1954, Lizzie Hatcher passed away on August 15, 2024. She will be cherished and remembered through the legacy of her family and friends, and honored for the inspiring life she led in service to her clients and her profession.

Appellate courts uphold far more rulings than they overturn, so lawyers who mostly defend rulings tend to show higher won-shares than lawyers who mostly challenge them. This breakdown lets you compare like with like.
Won means the court ruled the way this side asked. Mixed means the court agreed in part. Cases that were dismissed or have no clear result are listed but not counted. Based on the court's published decisions and unpublished orders; coverage is still being extended.
