On January 24, 2023, Ann Zimmerman, Justice of the Peace, Las Vegas Township Justice Court, on behalf of the Nevada Judges of Limited Jurisdiction (NJLJ), filed a petition in the Nevada Supreme Court seeking to amend the Nevada Justice Court Rules of Civil Procedure (JCRCP). On May 12, 2023, the court issued an order repealing and replacing the JCRCP with an effective date of July 12, 2023.
Subsequently, the NJLJ filed a motion to extend the effective date for 90 days. On October 10, 2023, the NJLJ requested a stay of the effective date of the previously approved amendments and filed a petition seeking amendments to the JCRCP in addition to those approved in the court’s May 12, 2023 order. The court solicited public comment regarding the petition, and on August 30, 2024, the Court issued an order in ADKT 0607 vacating the May 12, 2023 order and repealing and replacing the JCRCP to read as set forth in Exhibit A, effective 60 days from the date of this order.
