Nevada Policy for Handling Filed, Lodged, and Presumptively Confidential Documents – 2026
What a clerk of a Nevada municipal, justice or district court must do with a document presented for filing, adopted by the Supreme Court of Nevada by ADKT 410 and effective August 21, 2013. It exists because there was no standardized policy for handling documents presented to the clerks, and it was drafted by the Commission on Preservation, Access, and Sealing of Court Records. The clerk's duty to file a document is purely ministerial: unless a statute, court rule or this policy says otherwise, the clerk may not refuse to perform it. The policy then distinguishes documents that are filed from those that are lodged, and sets out the handling that a presumptively confidential document requires.
