The Nevada state court system has District, Justice and Municipal courts.
District Courts have general jurisdiction over civil and criminal cases, but generally only hear cases that are beyond the jurisdiction of Justice and Municipal courts. District Courts also hear Family Law cases.
Justice Courts hear criminal misdemeanor cases, and civil cases with less than $10,000 in dispute, as well as certain unlimited civil cases, such as landlord-tenant disputes.
Municipal Courts generally hear cases regarding the violation of municipal ordinances, and may hear other assorted municipal cases.
Although every county in Nevada has a District Court, whether a particular county has any Justice or Municipal Courts, or multiple, varies from county to county.
