We
sincerely
thank
all
of
the
health
care
workers
and
frontline
responders
who
have
worked
tirelessly
to
keep
us
safe
and
on
behalf
of
the
legal
system.
We
would
like
to
take
this
opportunity
to
thank
governor
sisilak
and
his
staff
for
their
work
in
early
january
to
add
the
judiciary
and
its
court
staff
and
members
of
the
nevada
legal
system
to
the
front
line
priority
lanes
for
vaccinations
against
this
terrible
disease.
B
By
january
11th,
we
successfully
developed
a
priority
plan
for
the
judicial
system
and
transmitted
to
the
state
health
department,
the
names
and
contact
information
for
2274
state
and
federal
judges,
seniors
magistrates,
masters
da's,
public
defenders,
u.s
attorneys
and
other
staff
seeking
vaccination
and
by
january
22nd.
We
conveyed
to
the
state
a
priority
plan
and
names
for
the
vaccination
of
6544
non-government
attorneys
and
their
staff,
all
of
whom
were
engaged
in
frontline
activities
and
exposed
to
the
virus.
B
A
B
A
A
A
A
B
A
B
B
I
submit
the
advancement
of
women
in
a
traditionally
male
dominated
part
of
the
legal
provision
deserves
recognition,
especially
during
women's
history
month.
I'd
like
to
introduce
my
friends
and
colleagues
on
the
nevada
supreme
court
they're
not
here
tonight.
They
wish
they
could
be.
They
promised
me
they'd
be
watching
and
they
better
be
associate
chief
justice
ron,
paraguerry
justice,
lydia,
stiglitz,
justice,
alyssa,
katish
justice,
abby,
silver
justice,
christina
pickering,
and
the
most
recently
elected
justice
douglas
herndon.
B
B
Through
this
six
year
period,
the
budget
supporting
the
court
of
appeals
has
remained
substantially
as
predicted
in
2014.,
and
we
are
all
proud
of
the
public-private
partnership
that
brought
a
beautiful,
nationally
recognized
courthouse
to
downtown
las
vegas,
while
saving
the
taxpayers
thousands
of
dollars
in
annual
rent.
All
in
all
a
successful
business
plan.
B
B
Courts,
as
you
know,
are
traditionally
places
where
many
people,
sometimes
hundreds
come
together
in
person
in
person.
Visits
to
the
courthouses
around
the
state
to
participate
in
jury
service,
pay,
parking
tickets,
seek
restraining,
orders
resolve
landlord,
tenant
disputes,
etc,
became
dangerous
due
to
the
potential
exposure
of
the
virus.
B
The
judiciary
shifted
where
it
could
to
technology,
to
hold
hearings
remotely
I'd
like
to
thank
and
recognize
chief
justice,
pickering
and
chief
judges
linda
bell:
scott
freeman,
susan
bockham,
melissa,
seragosa,
sam
bateman
and
the
many
other
judges
around
the
state
for
their
tireless
leadership
on
so
many
issues
that
literally
kept
the
courts
operating
this
past
year
and
a
very
special
thank
you
goes
out
to
the
incredible
court
administrators
and
I
t
staff
for
their
innovations
and
creativity
that
allowed
us
to
pivot
the
court
systems
to
a
virtual
format.
In
a
matter
of
days.
B
Many
lawyers
and
users
of
the
public
judicial
system
welcome
the
convenience
of
appearing
remotely,
rather
than
taking
the
time
needed
to
come
to
a
brick
and
mortar
courthouse
at
incline
village,
justice
court
judge
alan
tyrus
implemented
a
virtual
traffic
calendar,
with
the
exception
of
the
few
demands
for
in-person
trials.
The
court
is
completely
current,
despite
a
record
year
in
case
filings
and
in
the
eighth
judicial
district.
B
Since
the
software
application
was
implemented,
court
wide
in
september,
105
orders
have
been
processed.
The
district
court
has
also
developed
electronic
search
warrants
for
both
judges
and
law
enforcement
officers.
The
process
has
saved
law
enforcement,
at
least
two
hours
per
warrant,
and
the
court
has
processed
five
thousand
eight
hundred
and
fifty
electronic
warrants
since
april
of
two
thousand
twenty.
B
B
At
this
rate,
I'm
expecting
to
hear
any
day
that
the
next
trial
will
be
conducted
in
a
barn
outside
the
city
and
in
ely
a
double
murder
defendant,
a
double
defendant.
Murder
trial
has
been
delayed
over
a
year
because
there
are
insufficient
funds
to
rent
that
city's
convention
center
to
conduct
the
trial
and
in
winnemucca
judge
montero
frustrated
over
the
length
of
delay
in
a
civil
trial
personally
took
a
saw
to
his
jury
box
to
create
spacing
so
that
the
trial
could
proceed
just
last
week
and
the
delays
are
not
limited
to
the
district
courts.
B
I
have
asked
every
judicial
district
in
the
state
to
submit
a
plan
to
create
more
venues,
retrofit
courtrooms
and
provide
safe
facilities
to
conduct
jury
trials.
In
the
coming
days.
I
will
present
the
statewide
plan
to
the
governor
and
I
request
the
opportunity
to
present
it
to
you
to
restart
jury
tiles
and
reduce
backlogs.
B
We
respectfully
request
the
opportunity
to
present
these
plans
to
the
legislature,
and
we
urge
you
to
consider
allocating
some
of
the
funds
from
the
recently
adopted
american
rescue
plan
to
pay
the
costs
that
will
be
necessary
to
restore
justice
in
our
state
improvements
to
existing
venues.
Financial
support
to
access
larger
venues,
increased
deployment
of
senior
judges
to
every
district
will
help
create
an
environment
to
settle
or
try
pending
cases.
B
B
Over
the
years,
the
responsibilities
of
the
judicial
branch
have
grown,
whether
we
like
it
or
not.
The
state
courts
of
this
country
are
in
the
eye
of
the
storm.
We
have
become
the
emergency
room
for
society's
worst
ailments,
substance,
abuse,
family
violence,
mental
illness,
residential
evictions
and
more
this
reality
has
forced
courts
to
approach
cases
with
innovation
and
collaboration
with
all
involved.
B
Since
then,
the
district
courts
have
made
substantial
improvements
to
their
data
collection
and
case
supervision
processes
and
the
compliance
office
has
audited
estates
worth
a
total
of
95
million
hundred.
Ninety
two
thousand
eight
hundred
dollars
and
found
approximately
nine
million
one
hundred
and
seven
thousand
seven
hundred
and
seventy
three
dollars
worth
of
guardianship
estate
funds
that
were
at
risk
of
loss.
Since
march
2018
the
office
has
established
an
800
number.
B
B
B
The
diversion
of
those
suffering
from
substance
abuse
and
mental
health
challenges
will
reduce
the
need
for
more
jails
and
prisons.
Nevada's
statewide,
specialty
court
funding
committee
has
launched
two
initiatives
this
year.
That
I
believe,
will
provide
additional
accountability
for
these
programs.
B
First,
a
study
of
recidivism
and
second,
a
peer
review
of
sister
courts
with
the
assistance
of
the
nevada
department
of
health
and
human
services
biostatistician,
I
knew
I
was
going
to
mess
that
word
up
department,
an
assessment
of
successful
specialty
court
participants
for
2017
showed
the
average
recidivism
rate
to
be
25
percent,
in
other
words
consistent
with
national
averages.
75
percent
of
successful
graduates
have
not
had
a
conviction
since
participation
in
their
specialty
court.
B
In
addition,
some
judicial
districts
have
initiated
programs
in
partnership
with
local
law
enforcement,
to
divert
individuals
away
from
the
justice
system
to
community-based
services
for
treatment
and
life
skills
training.
One
such
program
is
the
new
law
enforcement
intervention
for
mental
health
and
addiction
under
the
an
acronym
lima
in
clark.
B
After
more
than
10
months
of
interviews,
detailed
surveys
and
on-site
visits,
the
ncj
released
a
68-page
report
that
can
be
found
on
the
supreme
court's
website,
concluding
that
the
state
should
continue
to
sustain
and
support
the
coordinated
family
division
model,
as
originally
conceived
in
the
legislation
25
years
earlier.
It
also
made
seven
recommendations.
B
B
In
addition,
we
support
and
agree
with
the
need
and
inclusion
of
courses
focusing
on
racial
equality
and
implicit
bias.
Indeed,
the
district
judges
have
already
added
an
extensive
program
entitled
the
red
door
project,
which
I
had
the
privilege
of
participating
in
earlier
this
year
with
the
conference
of
chief
justices
to
their
courthouse
list.
This
may
last
november,
as
you
may
recall,
the
nevadans
amended
the
nevada
constitution
to
reform
the
pardons
board,
increasing
the
number
of
required
meetings
to
four
per
year.
B
B
B
One
would
think
that,
with
millions
of
dollars
available
in
rent
relief,
the
eviction
issue
wouldn't
be
so
difficult,
but
it
is
far
more
complex
than
appears
on
the
surface.
Believe
me,
driven
in
large
part
by
the
time
it
takes
to
qualify,
tenants
under
the
federal
guidelines
and
connect
them
and
their
landlords
to
this
resource.
B
Now.
As
you
know,
home
means
nevada
has
operated
an
alternative
dispute
resolution
program
pursuant
to
rules
adopted
by
the
supreme
court
last
fall,
and
I
want
to
publicly
thank
shannon
chambers,
her
team
and
the
many
mediators
who,
on
very
short
notice,
stepped
in
to
help
parties
resolve
disputes
concerning
unpaid
rent
with
the
status
of
eviction
moratoriums
unclear.
B
It
will
be
critical
for
all
branches
of
state
government
to
work
closely
together
to
find
effective
solutions
for
landlords
and
tenants
over
the
coming
weeks
and
months,
the
judiciary
stands
ready
to
work
with
all
parties
to
implement
case
management
plans
that
are
consistent
with
statutory
provisions.
You
enact,
as
some
of
you
may
know,
the
supreme
court
recently
entered
an
order,
creating
a
commission
to
study
the
adjudication
of
water
law
cases.
B
B
A
Thank
you,
mr
speaker.
I
move
that
the
senate
and
assembly
in
joint
session
extend
a
vote
of
thanks
to
chief
justice
hardesty

his
timely
able

constructive
