Rule 3.3 Appearance by virtual means

If you get a civil traffic ticket in Nevada, you usually won't have to show up to court in person. The default rule is that hearings happen through video, similar to a video call. This applies to you, your lawyer if you have one, and any witnesses in your case.

This setup came from a Nevada Supreme Court order that looked at the best ways to handle virtual court appearances. The court still has to follow specific technical and procedural rules set up for these video hearings, so everything is done fairly and consistently.

For you, this means you can likely handle your traffic infraction hearing from home or wherever you have internet access, instead of driving to a courthouse. If for some reason your case needs an in-person hearing, the court can still arrange that, but video is the standard starting point.
