Nevada Appellate Practice Manual

This book is the product of many years’ work and collaboration with practitioners who focus in the area of Nevada appellate law.  It features eighteen chapters covering every area of our state’s appellate practice and includes a table of authorities as well as a filing and fee timetable.

Since we have no intermediate court of appeals, Nevada’s Supreme Court’s caseload that exceeds that of any other state – in 2002, 1,866 cases were disposed of while 1,711 new ones were filed.  Thus there are many guidelines and rules in place to ensure uniformity among appeals, including the Nevada Rules of Appellate Practice and the Supreme Court Rules.  This book is designed not as a replacement to these rules but as an aid to understanding them.

This book can help you decide whether to appeal, teach you how to prepare appellate briefs and how to improve your oral argument.  It also covers motion practice, criminal and civil jurisdiction, expedited criminal appeals, writ petitions, capital cases and more.
