LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — Attorneys for the National Football League and Jon Gruden made their cases today before a three-judge panel of Nevada Supreme Court justices. This comes more than two years after Gruden filed a lawsuit against the league for “contract interference and conspiracy” following a leak involving emails that would eventually lead to his departure. At issue is whether the panel will let stand a 2022 ruling by a district court judge that said Gruden’s lawsuit against the league could move forward. During the oral arguments before Supreme Court Justices Elissa Cadish, Kristina Pickering and Linda Marie Bell, each side had 15 minutes to present. The league wants the court to reverse a state court judge’s decisions in May 2022, letting Gruden’s lawsuit proceed, and not to order out-of-court talks that could be overseen by Commissioner Roger Goodell.
