On June 28, he was featured in the Las Vegas Sun article Dissecting Nevada's statute of limitations.
In regard to Nevada's two-year statute of limitations, Professor Main said, "Those statute of limitations periods — one way of thinking about them is that they give a person who would file a lawsuit a chance to see whether or not they need to file a lawsuit. If a statute were only 30 days or 60 days, everybody would have to hurry and find a lawyer and file a lawsuit before they really found out whether or not they needed to. That is one often-overlooked thing — the virtue that, in a sense, it can discourage lawsuits because you can wait and see if you need to file one. Over the course of years, a person can look back and realize an injury was just a bad weekend and one missed day of work."
Professor Main is a leading figure in the field of civil procedure. Most of his scholarship explores the history of procedure, with current projects focused on judicial efficiency initiatives in the 1950s-1970s.
