[edit] History

Ed Bernstein graduated Long Island University in New York with his bachelors degree in 1971. In 1975, he completed his law degree from Widener University Law School.

Bernstein moved to Southern Nevada in 1977 where he took a job in Las Vegas as a public defender. Two years later he started his own private practice, Edward M. Bernstein & Associates, where he found most of his success. His law firm, started when Las Vegas was still a small gaming boomtown, and later represented many high profile cases in Nevada, which brought about much of his regional fame. Bernstein used this fame to champion many causes including MADD (where he introduced the first Red-Ribbon Campaign which garnered national attention later) and the Anti-Defamation League.

In 2000, Bernstein ran an unsuccessful campaign against John Ensign (R-NV) as the Democratic candidate for the United States Senate, to replace long time outgoing Senator Richard Bryan (D-NV).
