Nevada Appellate Courts

Nevada Appellate Courts The highest courts in Nevada with a primary responsibility to review and rule on appeals from District Court cases. The Supreme Court has seven justices.

The Nevada Supreme Court is the state's highest court and its primary responsibility is to review and rule on appeals from District Court cases. The court does not conduct fact-finding trials; rather, the justices determine if legal or procedural errors were committed during the case. The Supreme Court is funded almost equally from the state general fund and from administrative assessments. The Ne

vada Court of Appeals is assigned to hear roughly one-third of all cases submitted to the Nevada Supreme Court in a deflective model, where the Supreme Court assigns cases to the three-judge Court of Appeals. Together these courts make up the Nevada Appellate Courts.

May is Treatment Court Awareness Month, a time to recognize the impact of specialty court programs serving communities across Nevada.

Nevada courts operate a range of specialty courts designed to address underlying challenges that can contribute to involvement in the justice system. Many of these programs are treatment courts, which connect participants with substance use treatment, mental health services, and other support while they remain accountable to the court.

Specialty courts in Nevada include programs such as adult drug courts, DUI/DWI courts, mental health courts, veterans treatment courts, family treatment courts, and juvenile treatment courts.

From rural communities to urban courts, these programs help individuals work toward recovery, stability, and stronger futures for themselves and their families.
