Nevada is one of the few U.S. states without a system of intermediate appellate courts.

The state supreme court is the Supreme Court of Nevada. Unlike other state supreme courts, the Supreme Court of Nevada lacks the power of discretionary review, so it must hear all appeals.

Original jurisdiction is divided between the District Courts (with general jurisdiction), and Justice Courts and Municipal Courts (both of limited jurisdiction).

Judicial elections in Nevada

All potential judges in Nevada, whether on the Supreme Court or a District Court, run in a non-partisan election. Elected judges for both courts then serve six-year terms.

Retention for both courts is based upon re-election voting, and winners serve an additional six-year term.
