About the Nevada Supreme Court

The Supreme Court of Nevada is the court of last resort in the state of Nevada. The court reviews appeals from the district courts and assigns cases to the Nevada Court of Appeals. Nevada's three-judge court of appeals was established in January 2015. Before that time, the supreme court heard all appeals in the state.[2] The supreme court hears cases in Carson City and Las Vegas.[3]

Selection
The seven justices of the Nevada Supreme Court are elected to six-year terms in nonpartisan elections. To serve additional terms, justices must run for re-election. In the event of a midterm vacancy, the Nevada Commission on Judicial Selection solicits and screens applicants to fill the judgeship. It makes recommendations to the governor, who appoints a mid-term replacement to serve until the next general election. If re-elected, the appointee serves out the remainder of the predecessor's unexpired term.[4]
Qualifications
To serve on the Nevada Supreme Court, a justice must be:
- a qualified elector;
- a state resident for two years;
- at least 25 years old;
- licensed and admitted to practice law in Nevada;
- a licensed attorney for 15 years with at least two years in Nevada.[4]
Selection of the chief justice
The supreme court selects its chief justice by seniority.
