Effective immediately, the Las Vegas Justice Court and Las Vegas Municipal Court traffic customer service counter located on the first floor at the Regional Justice Center is closed.

To the extent possible, traffic-related matters should be conducted by telephone, video, or other remote electronic means. Individuals with questions regarding these restrictions may call 702-455-4472 to speak to a customer service representative and be directed to the appropriate court.

The immediate closure of traffic counters was announced in the fourth administrative order issued by the Nevada Supreme Court Chief Justice Kristina Pickering and Eighth Judicial District Court Chief Judge Linda Bell in the interest of public safety. The order will be reviewed no later than every 30 days and shall continue until modified or rescinded by a subsequent order. The order cites the Nevada state of emergency and the critical need to prevent the spread of COVID-19 in the interest of public safety for the closures: “On March 12, 2020, Governor Steve Sisolak declared a state of emergency in Nevada in response to the recent outbreak of the Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19). The Nevada Supreme Court and District Court are closely monitoring local developments in response to COVID-19. We will continue to evaluate and implement measures to slow the spread of infection in our community. During this time, it is critical to prevent the spread of any illness among members of the court, counsel, staff, the public, and our valuable community partners. To further prevent the spread of disease, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends putting distance between yourself and other people. According to the CDC, the virus is spread mainly from people who are in close contact with one another—within about six feet.”
