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.

    Honoring Supreme Court of Nevada Veterans: Josh Nunez, Supreme Court of Nevada Chief Technical Applications Support Specialist and a veteran, joined the Navy in 2011 as a corpsman. He graduated at the top of his class, specializing in surgical technology and urology. His service took him from Texas to Japan for two years and concluded in North Carolina after five years of service. Inspired by his father's military service, Joshua always knew he wanted to serve.

After five years of service, Joshua transitioned to civilian life, relocating with his family to Las Vegas. He has since thrived in the IT business solutions sector, where he started as an intern and rose to become a project manager. Joshua's experience in the Navy has shaped his approach to his work in the judicial system. His attention to detail, people management skills, and ability to lead by example have made him an asset to his team. He believes in highlighting the strengths of others, fostering collaboration and excellence in every project. Thank you, Joshua, for your dedication and for embodying the values of leadership, teamwork, and service. #VeteransDay#ThankYouVeterans
