California Court of Appeal
County of Nevada v. Super. Ct. (Siegfried), C074504
In a petition for a writ of mandate or prohibition, concerning a jail's new policy that lawyers would generally no longer be able to meet face-to-face with their incarcerated clients in visiting rooms without glass partitions ("contact visits"), but instead would generally be required to meet with their clients in glass-partitioned rooms, the court's issuance of a stay is lifted where the trial court did not abuse its discretion in ordering that confidential attorney-client contact visits be made available at the jail absent circumstances justifying suspension of such visits in individual cases.
