Fiscal Year 2014 1 Nevada's Court Structure

The Nevada Judiciary is the Third Branch of Government—as equal and independent as the Executive and Legislative Branches. Empowered by the Nevada Constitution, judges play a vital role in our democratic system of checks and balances to guar- antee our citizens have access to fair and impartial justice under the law. Our Justices and Judges are responsible for resolving legal disputes as quickly and fairly as possible. As the chart below demonstrates, our current court system consists of the Nevada Supreme Court, the State’s highest court and only appellate court, and three levels of trial courts: the District, Justice, and Municipal Courts.

Supreme Court of Nevada Comprised of 7 Justices, this is the State’s ultimate judicial authority. Supreme Court decisions become the law of the land. The primary job of the Justices is to rule CLERK of the COURT on appeals from the trial courts, determining if legal errors occurred in court cases or Responsible for all Supreme Court files whether verdicts and judgments were fair and correct.

2 Nevada Judiciary Annual Report A Message from the Chief Justice

On behalf of the Justices of the Supreme Court of Nevada, I am pleased to present this 2014 Annual Report of the Nevada Judiciary. As Nevada celebrates its sesquicentennial, I appreciate this opportunity to advise the citizens of Nevada about the judiciary’s many accomplishments and new projects. Nevada’s judiciary has a long history of providing exceptional service to the citizens of our state. Following statehood in 1864, Nevada’s three Supreme Court Justices traveled the state hearing cases, providing access to justice and considering the needs of our citizens. The traditions established by those Justices 150 years ago continue today as Nevada’s judiciary continues to protect the rights and liberties of individuals, impartially interpreting our laws, and disposing of cases in a timely manner. The fiscal realities of the past few years have required the Supreme Court to utilize new ways to sustain Nevada’s Third Branch of government. Reduced resources have led the judiciary to discover alternative ways to deliver justice and maintain existing services. I am proud of our careful fiscal stewardship of the people’s money. The complexity of the issues reaching the Supreme Court continues to increase as Nevada matures into a mixture of met- ropolitan cities, urban counties, and rural regions. Throughout its history, the Supreme Court has always met the challenge of providing timely resolution of cases to all citizens of Nevada. In the first 3 years of the judiciary, Nevada’s Justices issued 82 opinions. In contrast, this past year the seven Justices of the Supreme Court disposed of roughly 2,400 cases. The Supreme Court’s use of three-judge panels has allowed it to dispose of more cases than would typically be possible if the full panel of seven Justices had to hear all cases. The innovations developed by the Supreme Court to hear more cases will be utilized in the new Court of Appeals, recently approved by the citizens of Nevada. The Supreme Court is grateful for the confidence expressed by Nevada’s citizens with their affirmative vote. The Court of Appeals will lead to quicker decisions on cases pending in the Supreme Court. I am pleased that during my term as Chief Justice, the Supreme Court, Administrative Office of the Courts was recognized by the Forum on the Advancement of Court Technology for our efforts to extend technology for the purpose of improving access to justice. Our mobile app demonstrates how the court has embraced new tools to improve the work of the courts. This report details the work of the judiciary and describes the various initiatives of the Supreme Court, Administrative Office of the Courts. The second half of the report provides a Statistical Summary of the types and number of cases adjudicated in the past year by Nevada’s Supreme, District, Justice, and Municipal Courts. The accomplishments made in the past year reflect the dedication of judges, court administrators, and judicial employees to the administration of justice. In our sesquicentennial year, Nevada’s Judiciary is committed to innovation and improved systems to make the judicial branch of government better and even more responsive to the people of Nevada.

Sincerely,

4 Nevada Judiciary Annual Report A Note from the State Court Administrator

“We remain imprisoned by the past as long as we deny its influence in the present.” -Justice William J. Brennan, Jr.

As part of recognizing the sesquicentennial (150th) anniversary of statehood, this 2014 annual report has a few historical nuggets throughout related to the judicial branch, which was established in the Nevada Constitution. In some instances, the history may only provide a little or more recent perspective, while others, such as the timeline provided before the statistics section, document the significant role over the last 150 years that the Judiciary has played in making Nevada the great state it is today. In some of the historical information, you will see that our predecessors were preparing for and shaping the future of the Nevada Judiciary. Even recently, the vision of implementing a Uniform System for Judicial Records, a prospect many believed would never happen, not only became a reality several years ago, now this report (and its appendices) provide even more detailed data for the public and policymakers to understand how the Nevada Judiciary is performing. This annual report not only reflects the statistical caseloads of Nevada courts, the report also details some of the related achievements of our courts during the most recent fiscal year. We have added a few feature articles in the statistics section highlighting a couple areas of research, including findings on judicial performance and processes, using some of the statistics gathered during the last few years. The legacy of the work from our predecessors comes with the responsibilities that we must be good stewards and pioneers for the next generation. As we look forward to the next generation providing justice in Nevada, we must continue to work hard on the daily issues placed before us, while having a vision as to what will be the Nevada Judiciary of tomorrow.

Fiscal Year 2014 5 Nevada Court of Appeals

Nevada Court Structure with Court of Appeals

Discretionary Supreme Court of Nevada Appeals/Assignment Comprised of 7 Justices, this is the State’s ultimate judicial authority. All cases appealed from the District Courts will be filed with the Supreme Court. Some matters will be assigned to the Court of Appeals, based on Supreme Court Rule, and the remaining matters will be heard and resolved by the Nevada Supreme Court. Cases resolved by opinion at the Nevada Supreme Court are precedent- setting and become law.

Court of Appeals Comprised of 3 Judges, the Court of Appeals will hear categories Non-Discretionary of cases assigned to it by Supreme Court Rule. Most cases routed Appeals/Remands to the Court of Appeals will be decided and end there, as Supreme Court review of Court of Appeals decisions will be discretionary.

District Courts These are courts of general jurisdiction where major civil, criminal, family, and juvenile cases are decided. Appeals of District Court cases go to the Supreme Court. Remands

Non-Discretionary Appeals/Remands

Justice and Municipal Courts These are courts of limited jurisdiction where minor civil and criminal cases are decided. Appeals of Justice and Municipal Court cases go to the District Courts.

6 Nevada Judiciary Annual Report Nevada Court of Appeals Voter-Approved Court of Appeals In November 2014, Nevada voters approved the creation of a Court of Appeals by allowing an amendment to Article 6 of the Nevada Constitution. This unique court will hear roughly one-third of all cases submitted to the Nevada Supreme Court in a push-down model, where the Supreme Court will assign cases to a three-judge Court of Appeals. This is similar to systems used in Iowa, Idaho, and Mississippi. Prior to this change, the Supreme Court heard all appeals including everything from final judgments entered by the District Courts, to murder convictions and appeals of driver’s license revocations. For decades, the Supreme Court struggled to keep up with its caseload. This was demonstrated by the number of pending cases before the court, which delayed justice and prevented speedy resolution of cases. The purpose of creating the Court of Appeals was born out of the concern that justice delayed is justice denied. This became evident when families waited for an appeal for a child custody case, or when decisions on proposed ballot initiatives were slowed by the backlog of cases. All appeals cases are urgent to the parties involved. With the voter-approved Court of Appeals, parties waiting for their appeals to be heard will have their cases move forward quicker. Historically, the Supreme Court has had the highest number of filings of all states without an appellate court. In 2014, each Supreme Court Justice handled a caseload of roughly 354 cases per year. This means nearly one case every day must be heard and decided by each Justice. Also, because the Supreme Court sits in panels of three or seven justices, the number of cases requiring a decision actually equates to more than three cases per justice, per day. This has been an impossible task; a large number of cases have required as much as 3 years to adjudicate and reach a decision. Prior to the approval of the Court of Appeals, the Supreme Court has disposed of most matters with orders that are not precedent-setting. This has allowed the court to reach decisions faster. However, those decisions cannot be cited or relied on as guidance by the District Courts. In fact, the number of precedent-setting cases has been reduced to roughly 4 percent of all dispositions produced by the Supreme Court.

Model Appeals will continue to be filed with the Office of the Supreme Court Clerk, which will allow the court to avoid adding clerks, central staff, or bureaucracy. The Supreme Court will then decide which matters should be assigned to the Court of Appeals. The push-down model, as shown on page 6, will allow the Supreme Court to speed up the appeals process by assign- ing cases to the Court of Appeals, while handling cases most likely to be precedent-setting in nature. The outcome will result in more published opinions establishing guidance on Nevada law, improved decisions in the District Courts, and improved access to the appellate process. Approximately 700 cases each year will be assigned to the three judges on the Court of Appeals. The Supreme Court will establish the types of matters to be reviewed by the Court of Appeals. Many of these cases may include important reviews of business law, family law, and criminal law. Most of the cases assigned to the Court of Appeals are expected to be concluded in the Court of Appeals. This is due to the discretion afforded the Supreme Court on accepting appeals from the Court of Appeals to the Supreme Court. Accordingly, the Supreme Court will ultimately decide when Court of Appeals decisions are reviewed.

Fiscal Costs The addition of the Court of Appeals will require a minimal impact on the budget of the Supreme Court. The estimated cost of implementing the Court of Appeals will total $1.5 million, with the court using existing Supreme Court facilities to hear cases and house support staff. The operating cost of the Court of Appeals is limited to the salaries of the three judges and their staff, which was approved by the Legislature in 2013.

Benefits The Nevada Judiciary is appreciative of the trust and confidence of voters in approving the Constitutional amendment. The Court of Appeals will improve access to justice in the state by reviewing decisions in a timely manner and providing faster resolution of all cases. In addition, the Court of Appeals will allow an increase in the number of published opinions by the Supreme Court in all areas of Nevada law. These published opinions will improve decisions made by the District Courts and provide clarity for Nevada’s citizens and businesses.

Fiscal Year 2014 7 Funding the Nevada Judiciary Funding Funding for the Judicial Branch of the State of Nevada is administered by the Administrative Office of the Courts under the direction of the Supreme Court. The Judicial Branch of the State of Nevada is funded primarily from the State’s General Fund and from administrative assessments that are assessed on misdemeanor criminal and traffic violations heard in limited jurisdiction courts. For fiscal year 2014, the state appropriated $31,119,2351 to the Judicial Branch of the State of Nevada from the General Fund. This was less than 1 percent of the statewide General Fund appropriation. Other funding authorized in the budget was $29,776,081 from administrative assessment revenue and other funding sources, which brought the total of the Judicial Branch of the State of Nevada budget approved by the Nevada Legislature to $60,895,316. To put this amount into perspective, it represented less than 1 percent of the $8.7 billion statewide budget the Nevada Legislature approved for the fiscal year. At the conclusion of the fiscal year, the Judicial Branch of the State of Nevada spent $51,155,955, returned $435,392 to the State General Fund, and retained $9,874,097 for subsequent year expenses, primarily for specialty court programs, court technological improvements, and foreclosure mediations.

1 This amount excludes the appropriation to fund the Commission on Judicial Discipline. Prior to providing any appropriations, the Nevada Legislature withheld $642,289 from the Supreme Court’s budget request due to the legislative mandate for furloughs and salary reductions.

$25,000,000 COST TO OPERATE $22,500,000 $51,155,955 $20,000,000 $17,500,000 $15,000,000 Other Revenue $12,500,000 Sources (39%) $10,000,000 $7,500,000 $5,000,000 General Fund (61%) $2,500,000 $0

Fiscal Year 2014 Expenditures Of the more than $51 million that it cost to operate the Judicial Branch of the State of Nevada in fiscal year 2014, salaries for Justices and District Court Judges were $21,220,789 and represented 41.5 percent of the total cost to operate. When the costs for senior judge coverage of District Courts, judicial selection processes, and judicial retirement system are added in, the judicial officer coverage costs come to more than $24.6 million. The remaining balance funded the operation of the Supreme Court, its Law Library, Specialty Court Programs, judicial programs and support, education, trial court technology, foreclosure mediation, and administration.

Funding Impacts During the 26th Special Session (2010), the Nevada Legislature amended NRS 176.059 by increasing the amount of an administrative assessment on a fine by $5 and authorizing the first $5 of each administrative assessment to be sent to the State for credit to the State General Fund. Section 34 of Assembly Bill 6 took effect March 2010. Since the implementation of the Assembly Bill, the collection of the $5 administrative assessment has had a negative impact on the level of revenue received by the judiciary, with steady declines. This decline continues to threaten the sustainability of the Nevada Judiciary’s resources and services, and is likely to require increased dependence on the State’s General Fund in the future.

8 Nevada Judiciary Annual Report Judicial Council, Committees, and Commissions

JUDICIAL COUNCIL OF THE STATE OF NEVADA Commission on Prior to the creation in early 1979 of the Judicial Council of the State of Nevada Indigent Defense (JCSN), there were two committees that met regularly to discuss court-related issues: Southern Nevada and Northern-Rural.

Access to Justice Commission In 2006, the Access to Justice Commission was created to promote equal civil justice for all Nevadans, regardless of economic status. Co-chaired by Justice Michael L. Douglas and Justice James W. Hardesty, the Commission is comprised of 18 members from various legal and non-legal backgrounds, all focused on the delivery of legal services to those in need. Over the past year, the Commission has focused on a review of service delivery with an emphasis on rural concerns. There are five core civil legal aid providers that are members of the Access to Justice Commission: Legal Aid Center of Southern Nevada, Nevada Legal Services, Southern Nevada Senior Law Program, Volunteer Attorneys for Rural Nevadans, and Washoe Legal Services. Within the past year, these programs have provided services to clients in a variety of legal areas including guardianship matters, civil litigation, foreclosure concerns, domestic violence matters, family law issues, and estate planning and probate matters. During the past year, the Access to Justice Commission, through its legal aid provider partners, has assisted 11,889 clients (without litigation); represented 7,553 clients in litigation; provided guidance for 127,536 participants through classes, clinics and hotline programs; worked with 3,666 participants in Ask-A-Lawyer, Lawyer in the Library, and Lawyer in the Lobby events; and provided assistance to 135,479 clients via self-help centers. Additionally, the Commission used the ONE Promise Nevada Campaign to promote and increase pro bono services, and initiated plans to standardize self-help court forms. Financial support for legal aid programs is largely derived from statutorily required filing fees. In fiscal year 2013, counties across Nevada reported collecting more than $7,900,353 to fund legal aid services and programs benefiting el- derly and/or indigent clients, abused or neglected children, and victims of domestic violence.

Pro Bono Report During calendar year 2013, more than 1,100 clients seeking legal assistance were placed with pro bono attorneys. Additionally, 2,363 clients were represented by pro bono attorneys, and 5,111 clients were assisted by pro bono attorneys through hotline programs or brief consultations. Overall, more than 23,423 pro bono hours were provided through private attorney involvement.

ONE Promise Nevada Campaign The Access to Justice Commission launched the ONE Promise Nevada Campaign in an effort to increase attorney pro bono participation in Nevada. The Campaign has been instrumental in raising approximately $41,000 for pro bono services since its inception, and has raised awareness of the need for pro bono services among several law firms, Bar Sections, and legal organizations throughout the state. The objective of the ONE Promise Nevada Campaign is based on the goal that each attorney takes one pro bono case, or in the alternative, either donates time to other pro bono services or donates resources to the ONE Promise Nevada Campaign. More information may be found at the ONE Campaign website, www.onepromisenevada.org.

Certified Court Interpreter Program

This year is the 150th anniversary of Nevada’s entry into the Union on October 31, 1864. Additionally, it is the year of the 50th anniversary of the U.S. Congress’ passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the federal law that helped end segregation in places of public accommodation. In the spirit of the Civil Rights Act, and to better address the needs of limited English proficient (LEP) parties appearing before the courts, the Nevada Certified Court Interpreter Program was established in 2002. Over the last 12 years, the Interpreter Program has helped to increase the number of credentialed court interpreters and improve access to Nevada’s judicial system. Highlighted below are some of the notable accomplishments that occurred during fiscal year 2014.

Credentialing Process • The Program administered 52 written examinations as well as 24 oral examinations in the languages of Spanish, Korean, Mandarin, Tagalog, Japanese, and Amharic. • The Program renewed 19 court interpreter credentials in the Spanish, Portuguese, and German languages. • The Program added 4 newly credentialed court interpreters in the Spanish, Mandarin, Amharic, and Tigrinya languages.

Outreach • The Program Coordinator traveled to 19 Northern Nevada Rural Courts during fiscal year 2014 to provide judges, court administrators, and other court personnel with ideas and resources for effective language access services. • The Program partnered with the “Ya Es Hora, Ciudadania!,” a local non-profit organization, to assist with providing language assistance to the LEP community seeking U.S. citizenship via the services of Nevada credentialed court interpreters (September 2013). • Two new resources for the community were designed and made available to the public via the Program’s web page (http://www.nevadajudiciary.us/index.php/courtinterpreterprogram). The two brochures feature information regarding the Program’s credentialing process for prospective court interpreters, and a guide for attorneys that lists resources and helpful insights about successful communication with clients when the services of a court interpreter are needed.

Collaborative Efforts The Nevada Judiciary received a State Justice Institute/National Center for State Courts (NCSC) grant to conduct an assessment on video remote interpreting (VRI) needs in April 2014. The assessment will assist Nevada courts in furthering their language access as well as their LEP initiatives. The Interpreter Program has worked closely with NCSC to explore potential VRI alternatives in our state.

Language Access The Language Access Committee for the Nevada Certified Court Interpreter Program was created as a subcommittee of the Judicial Council of the State of Nevada to address issues regarding language access in Nevada’s judicial system.

Court Assistance The Program provided courts with assistance in locating credentialed court interpreters for languages of limited diffusion (i.e., Punjabi, Mongolian, Somali, Amharic, Korean, Russian, Vietnamese, Wolof, and Khmer) when LEP parties appeared before the courts with language assistance needs.

Training “Online Skill-building Workshop for Prospective Court Interpreters” allows for interpreter training through a collaborative partnership with the University Lyon County’s first courthouse (pic- of New Mexico, Los Alamos and the New Mexico Administrative Office of the tured) was built in Dayton in 1864.

Neighborhood Justice Center

The Neighborhood Justice Center (NJC) was established by the Nevada Legislature in 1991 to provide conflict resolution, information, referral, and mediation services to Clark County residents, businesses, and organizations. In 2006, the NJC became a division of the Las Vegas Justice Court (LVJC). A mandatory small claims mediation program was developed in fiscal year 2012. Under this program, litigants are required to mediate their claims before a court hearing is scheduled. The mandatory small claims mediation program has increased the number of out-of-court resolutions, thereby decreasing the number of contested cases that must be heard by the court. Currently, only LVJC has mandatory mediations; however, Henderson is moving toward replicating this model. North Las Vegas and Boulder City have a voluntary small claims mediation program staffed by NJC mediators and volunteers. In addition to mandatory mediation for small claims matters, in fiscal year 2014 the NJC commenced work on a pre-adjudicatory Petit Larceny Program in cooperation with the Retailers Association Diversion program, to pilot a post-adjudicatory Petit Larceny Program through the LVJC. Both the pre-adjudicatory and diversion programs utilize a restorative justice mediation model. As the NJC moves forward in expanding the number of petit larceny cases it takes on, there will be an increased need for trained volunteer mediators. To meet this need, the NJC is working in cooperation with UNLV Boyd School of Law to train volunteers, give them an opportunity to provide mediation services, and expand their understanding of the role of mediation in the court process and the importance of Specialty Courts.

Supreme Court surpasses almost every individual court in cases per justice; only the California Supreme Court is higher. Still, Nevada has 89 cases filed per 100,000 population; California has 20. Also, California has discretionary review, meaning not all petitions filed in the court are heard by the court. In contrast, in fiscal year 2014, Nevada did not have discretionary review and was required to hear all matters filed with the court. When comparing Court of Appeals filings to Supreme Court filings, generally, the Court of Appeals has a much greater number of new case filings. Only Idaho reports fewer filings at their Court of Appeals than their Supreme Court. In Idaho, all cases are first filed with the Supreme Court and then assigned to the Court ofAppeals.

Felony and Gross Misdemeanor Cases in the Nevada Trial Courts

When reviewing the USJR criminal statistics, keep in mind that these numbers represent real issues that the Nevada Judiciary works to resolve involving people’s lives and livelihoods. The statistics throughout this Annual Report are often interrelated due to statute and procedure. Accordingly, the Research and Statistics Unit (RSU) reviewed how statute and procedure have an effect on the workload of the courts. In Nevada, there are three major degrees of criminal offenses: felony, gross misdemeanor, and misdemeanor. Misdemeanors, crimes with up to $1,000 in fines and up to 6 months in jail, are typically resolved at the Justice and Municipal Court level. Gross misdemeanors are crimes with punishments of up to $2,000 in fines and up to 1 year in jail. Felonies, the most serious of crimes, have punishments with prison terms greater than a year. Some gross misdemeanor and felony cases are initiated by grand juries, with an indictment being filed directly with the District Court. However, most felony and gross misdemeanor cases start in the Justice Court with the filing of a complaint, a legal document formally charging the defendant with alleged crimes. When a complaint is filed in a Justice Court for felony or gross misdemeanor crimes, the case can then move to the preliminary hearing phase where the Justice Court judge will determine if there is enough evidence to proceed to trial; otherwise, the judge will dismiss the case. The preliminary hearing phase can consist of a single hearing or multiple hearings, or it can be waived by the defendant. If the defendant waives the preliminary hearing process, or the defendant denies the allegations and the judge determines there is enough evidence to proceed to trial, then the case is bound over to District Court for trial. In some circumstances, the original felony or gross misdemeanor charges are amended to misdemeanor charges, either through discovery or negotiation, and are subsequently disposed (adjudicated) at the Justice Court. When a case is bound over to District Court, the district attorney will then file an information with the court. This legal document may contain the same charges as the complaint previously filed, or it may contain modified allegations. The case then proceeds through pre-trial hearings at District Court. If the case is not disposed (adjudicated) through those hearings, the case then proceeds to and concludes at trial. The table below shows the case filing of felony and gross misdemeanor cases in Nevada for the past 4 years. Justice Courts had a total of 124,533 of these types of cases, with a closure rate of slightly more than 100 percent (124,598 cases disposed). Of the 124,598 cases disposed, 50 percent (61,735 cases) were the result of waiving or proceeding to the preliminary hearing phase; of which, 76 percent (46,709 cases) were bound over (including waivers) to the District Courts. These 46,709 cases over the past 4 years represent 92 percent of the criminal cases filed in Nevada’s District Courts. Indictments represent more than 3 percent (1,757 indictments) of the District Court filings for the past 4 years. The remaining 5 percent of cases could be the result of misdemeanor cases being amended to a higher degree of offense, timing issues between filings and dispositions, or other reporting issues. Always keep in mind the underlying judicial procedures (due to statute and rules) that the USJR statistics represent. The RSU found that prosecutors, defense attorneys, and defendants worked to resolve more than 62 percent (77,889 cases) of all felony and gross misdemeanor cases in the past 4 years in the Justice Courts without the need to proceed to the trial process in the District Courts.

46 Nevada Judiciary Annual Report Justice Court Summary

Conviction Rates in the Nevada Trial Courts Conviction rates are an important measure that policymakers may use to better understand the performance of the criminal justice system. A conviction rate is defined in this analysis as the number of court dispositions where the defendant either pled guilty or was convicted at trial, divided by the total number of dispositions. A review of convictions in Nevada trial courts for fiscal years 2011-14 indicates that a majority of defendants are being convicted at relatively consistent rates year-to-year. The table below shows the conviction rates for non-traffic and traffic dispositions in Nevada’s District, Justice, and Municipal Courts over the past 4 fiscal years. The table includes the overall percentage of convictions, as well as their breakdown by guilty pleas and trial convictions. District Courts are responsible for hearing felony and gross misdemeanor offenses. In fiscal year 2014, District Courts reported convictions in 13,370 of the 15,870 non-traffic cases they disposed, for a conviction rate of 84 percent. The rate has decreased every fiscal year since 2011, for an overall decrease of 3 percent. The majority of non-traffic dispositions in fiscal year 2014 were guilty pleas, with 83 percent the result of a guilty plea and 1 percent the result of a bench or jury trial conviction. Justice Courts are responsible for addressing misdemeanor and traffic offenses. They also conduct preliminary hearings for felony and gross misdemeanor offenses, with those offenses adjudicated in District Courts. The Justice Court analysis is accordingly limited to misdemeanor dispositions, as those are the only non-traffic offenses which Justice Courts have jurisdiction to record convictions of defendants. In fiscal year 2014, Justice Courts reported convictions in 23,666 of the 47,029 misdemeanor non-traffic cases they disposed, for a conviction rate of 50 percent. The rate increased in fiscal years 2012 and 2013, and decreased in fiscal year 2014, for an overall increase of 5 percent for fiscal years 2011-14. The majority of misdemeanor non-traffic dispositions in fiscal year 2014 were guilty pleas, with 50 percent the result of a guilty plea and less than 1 percent the result of a bench or jury trial conviction. Justice Courts also reported convictions in 261,456 of the 315,610 traffic cases they disposed in fiscal year 2014, for a conviction rate of 83 percent. The rate decreased in fiscal year 2012 and increased in fiscal year 2014, resulting in an overall increase of 3 percent for fiscal years 2011-14. The majority of traffic dispositions in fiscal year 2014 were guilty pleas, with 83 percent the result of a guilty plea and less than 1 percent the result of a bench trial conviction. Municipal Courts are responsible for adjudicating misdemeanor and traffic violations in incorporated communities. In fiscal year 2014, Municipal Courts reported convictions in 33,931 of the 50,012 non-traffic cases they disposed, for a conviction rate of 68 percent. The rate decreased in fiscal years 2012 and 2013, and increased in fiscal year 2014, for an overall decrease of 6 percent for fiscal years 2011-14. The majority of non-traffic dispositions in fiscal year 2014 were guilty pleas, with 67 percent the result of a guilty plea and 1 percent the result of a bench or jury trial conviction. Municipal Courts also reported convictions in 127,991 of the 145,484 traffic cases they disposed in fiscal year 2014, for a conviction rate of 88 percent. The rate remained unchanged for fiscal years 2011- 13 and decreased in fiscal year 2014, for an overall decrease of 1 percent for fiscal years 2011-14. The majority of traffic dispositions in fiscal year 2014 were guilty pleas, with 88 percent the result of a guilty plea and less than 1 percent the result of a bench trial conviction. Conviction rates reflect the Nevada courts in terms of their consistency, as the rates remained relatively unchanged year-to-year. This analysis shows that a majority of defendants brought before the judges in Nevada are convicted. Importantly, conviction rates do not indicate an adversarial role between the courts and defendants. They do reflect the decisions of prosecutors, since conviction rates only include incidents that prosecutors decide to bring to court. They also reflect the strength of evidence presented in cases, which is exemplified here by the high conviction rate in District Courts. The preliminary hearing process in Justice Courts ensures that only cases with probable cause proceed to the trial stage in District Courts.

Fiscal Year 2014 55 Courts with Incomplete Data Courts that did not provide all of their monthly data for fiscal year 2014 are listed in Table 19, as are the specific elements of the missing data. Once again, all courts provided caseload information. In a few instances, courts submitted all they could count, but acknowledged that there are still issues with the statistics they are working to correct. In those instances, the data appears in italics or is footnoted, but the court may not appear in Table 19 if all monthly reports were filed. The Nevada State Courts continue to improve the reporting of their statistics year-to-year. Some courts do not have automated case management systems. In these courts, staff manually collect the information from each case or citation. As case management systems improve, and courts without automated systems move to more sophisticated methods of collecting case information, the statistics will improve as well. The Administrative Office of the Courts continues to work with the courts on technology projects that put case management systems in many rural and some urban courts. Case management systems provide an automated mechanism to prepare monthly statistical reports while also improving court processes and procedures. No courts were added to the state-sponsored case management system this year. Currently, there are 29 courts using all or part of the state-sponsored system, excluding 12 courts using a similar system maintained by Clark County.
