Today is the last work day for outgoing judges and their staff. We thank them for their service to the community and wish them well. With their departures and six new Family Division departments, District Court is preparing to welcome a record-setting 22 new judges. This will involve a major case re-assignment that will occur on January 4-5. The case reassignment has been described by the chief judge as “massive and complex.” Patience is requested from those who may be impacted. An administrative order is forthcoming that will outline case assignments.

With all the new judges, there may be confusion on who is where. Below are way finders for the Regional Justice Center and Family Court that may be helpful.

Civil/criminal departments located on the 11th, 14th, 15th and 16th floors of the Regional Justice Center will be sharing courtroom space with some of the family division judges for a few months.

The Nevada Supreme Court approved the statewide rules of criminal procedure that will be effective on March 1. Their impact on District Court is being assessed to determine possible changes need to be made to court procedures. Below is a link to ADKT 0491.
