Notes
Clark County holds about three-quarters of Nevada's population; the Chief Justice's signature on AO 20-01 gives it statewide judicial imprimatur. The Supreme Court's own ADKT 567 (eviction mediation, effective Oct. 15, 2020) is recited in Directive 043.
Retrieval noteState Bar compilation of the court's orders; primary as to the orders' text. nvcourts.gov refused automated retrieval, so no Supreme Court order is saved here.
