Introduction
Nevada case research is limited by the fact that there is very little case law available to research. Nevada's court system consists of the following courts:
- Nevada Supreme Court (highest court)
- Nevada Court of Appeals
- District Court
- Justice Courts
- Municipal Courts
Of these courts, only the Nevada Supreme Court and the Nevada Court of Appeals publishe opinions. Information about cases in the Justice Courts or the District Court may be obtained (for a small fee) from the court itself, however this information is not available in the law library.
Decisions from the Nevada Supreme Court and the Nevada Court of Appeals are published in the Nevada Reports and in the Pacific Reporter. The decisions are also available electronically in the library through Westlaw Public Access and LexisNexis Academic. Cases from other states, including California, Arizona, and Utah, are also published in the Pacific Reporter.
