This summary is not the rule. The rule text controls.
These rules set out how civil court cases work in Nevada's district courts. They cover almost every step of a lawsuit, from start to finish. The only cases left out are the special situations listed in Rule 81.
The main goal behind these rules is to make sure cases are handled fairly, quickly, and without wasting people's money. Judges and the people involved in a lawsuit are all expected to follow this goal. That means courts should look for ways to resolve disputes efficiently instead of letting cases drag on or cost more than they need to.
For anyone involved in a civil case, this rule is a reminder that the court system is supposed to work for you, not against you. If a case is taking too long or getting too expensive because of unnecessary steps, this rule gives the court a reason to step in and keep things moving.
