The Nevada Judiciary provides impartial, efficient, and accessible dispute resolution in legal matters.
About us
Comprised of seven justices, the Nevada Supreme Court is the highest judicial authority and administrative head of Nevada's legal system. The primary job of the Justices is to rule on appeals from the trial courts, determining if legal errors were committed in court cases, or whether verdicts and judgments were fair and correct. The Justices sit in panels of three for the majority of cases, or as the full court of seven to decide the most significant legal issues. As administrative head of Nevada’s legal system, the Supreme Court oversees the courts and issues rules governing everything from court procedures to the ethical and professional conduct of judges and attorneys. The Nevada Supreme Court can also create commissions and committees to perform administrative functions or to study the judicial system and recommend changes and improvements. Under the Supreme Court is the Administrative Office of the Courts (AOC), the Clerk of the Court, and the Law Library. The AOC performs all administrative functions for the Nevada Supreme Court and provides support services to the trial courts in such areas as training and technology. The Clerk of the Court is responsible for all Supreme Court files and documents, manages the Court’s caseload and dockets, coordinates public hearings, and releases the Court’s decisions. The Law Library houses law books and other documents in its facility at the Nevada Supreme Court building in Carson City. The Law Library is used by the Court’s law clerks and the public.
