Second Judicial District Court

What Second Judicial District Court does

The Second Judicial District Court is a state district court of Nevada established by statute to serve Washoe County, including the cities of Reno, Sparks, and surrounding communities. It is organized into 16 judicial departments and operates 8 specialty court programs — Adult Drug Court, Diversion Court, Felony DUI Court, Medication-Assisted Treatment Court, Mental Health Court, Prison Re-Entry Court, Veterans Court, and Young Offender Court — providing general civil, criminal, family, probate, and treatment-supervised judicial services. The court is led by a Court Administrator & Clerk of Court supported by an Executive Leadership Team (Assistant Court Administrator, Chief Fiscal Officer, Chief Technology Officer, Director of HR) and department managers across Family Services, Filing Office, IT, Jury/Interpreter Services, Pretrial Services, Specialty Courts, and the Law Library. Headcount is approximately 77 employees, including 17+ Deputy Clerks and Records Clerks in the Filing Office. Two physical courthouse locations serve the public: 75 Court Street (General Jurisdiction, Probate, Law Library, Filing Office) and One South Sierra Street (Family Division with Resource Center), supplemented by validated juror parking at 135 N. Sierra Street.

The court's core technology platform consists of the eFlex electronic filing system (mandatory for all cases per Administrative Order 2018-12, offering free Standard accounts and $300/year global-view Subscription accounts), the Case & Calendar Inquiry public portal (caseinfo.washoecourts.com), Zoom-based Online Hearings with simultaneous language interpretation, and AllPaid third-party payment processing for fines, fees, and copy requests. Specialty court operations are coordinated with the Nevada Division of Parole and Probation, the Nevada Department of Corrections, VA, Washoe County Detention Facility, community treatment providers, and transitional housing partners. The court does not engage in commercial marketing; public information is disseminated through the washoecourts.com website, the Online Hearings portal, the Case Information system, and community outreach events including the America 250 Champions of Democracy monthly speaker series.

Revenue mechanics are statutory and governmental rather than commercial: filing fees ranging from $135 to $1,515 depending on case type, jury service compensation of $65/day per Nevada SB222 effective January 1, 2024, $520 first-day jury deposits, $2,300 Adult Drug Court program fees, and non-waivable $300/year eFlex subscription fees. The court is funded primarily through public appropriations under the Nevada judiciary and holds exclusive jurisdictional authority over district-level matters in Washoe County. Customer segments are horizontal and use-case based (Civil Litigants, Criminal Defendants, Family Law Participants, Jurors, Probate Filers, Young Offenders), with no commercial pricing tiers, no investor structure, and no private ownership.
