Sep 17, 2026

Uploaded by Aurelia

This administrative order establishes procedural guidelines for the assignment and reassignment of cases within the District Court, specifically addressing the coordination between adult guardianship departments, the Guardianship Compliance Team, and civil domestic departments. It outlines the application of the 'one judge, one family' rule as prescribed by NRS 3.025(3) and EDCR 5.103. The document formalizes a structure where minor guardianship cases act as the determining factor for judicial department assignment to ensure efficiency and judicial consistency. It further provides a comprehensive list of specific civil domestic matters to be reassigned to designated departments (B, C, E, F, H, I, J, L, R, T) to resolve existing conflicts between court rules and case management requirements. This policy is designed to streamline adjudication processes, define the scope of rule application regarding exemptions like juvenile dependency and delinquency, and ensure that related parties are managed within the same judicial department whenever possible to maintain effective oversight of fiduciary obligations and legal proceedings.

How are minor guardianship cases treated in terms of case assignment?

Minor guardianship cases are designated as the determining factor for judicial department assignment, meaning other civil domestic cases involving the same parties should follow the assignment of the minor guardianship case.
