Organization
In 2006, the First Judicial District Court and the Justice and Municipal Courts agreed to consolidate administrative functions and hire one Court Administrator to maximize staff resources and to improve efficiencies. There are two District Court Judges, two Justices of the Peace/Municipal Court Judges and 32 full time employees.
The First Judicial District Court is on the third floor and the Justice and Municipal Courts are on the second floor of the Carson City Courthouse. There are Court Clerk’s Offices on each respective floor. These offices provide all clerical support for the court’s operations and serve the public.
The First Judicial District Court Judges supervise the Juvenile Court and Juvenile Probation Department. The District Court Judges also are responsible for District Court cases in Storey County.
Department of Alternative Sentencing
The Courts informally supervise the Department of Alternative Sentencing. The department consists of 9 1/2 employees and provides pretrial and probationary supervision, pretrial arrestee screening services, community service coordination, and oversees courthouse security and the collection of court fines and fees.
Mental Health Court Program The Mental Health Court program is held each week in the Justice and Municipal Court. There is an average of 30 participants in the program. The Nevada Supreme Court and legislative funding pay for this program. Mental Health Court participants are intensely supervised by a multi-disciplinary team approach. The team provides comprehensive treatment to address diagnosed mental illness and substance abuse addiction.
Western Regional Drug Court
The Western Regional Adult Drug Court is held every other Monday in District Court. There is an average of 65 participants in the program. Specialty Court funds from the Nevada Supreme Court pay for this program. Drug Courts are extraordinarily effective alternatives to the traditional adjudication of drug-related offenses in criminal courts.
Serious Driving Under the Influence (DUI) Program Chapter 484 of the Nevada Revised Statutes mandates the Serious DUI Offender Program. This program consists of government agencies working together in providing intense monitoring, supervision and treatment services to offenders driving under the influence to rectify behavior that directly contributes to recidivism. The Serious DUI Offender Program is a modified version of the drug court model. |
