Nevada Supreme Court from WikiPedia:
The Supreme Court of Nevada is the state supreme court of Nevada. It is the highest judicial body of the Nevada state government.
There are seven Justices of the court, who are elected to six-year terms in officially nonpartisan elections. The Governor appoints Justices in the case of a vacancy. The most senior justice becomes Chief Justice for a two-year term.
The Court hears appeals from the Nevada District Courts.
When Nevada established its statehood, there were three justices of the Supreme Court. This was increased to five justices in 1967 and to seven justices in 1997.
Despite a tremendous population boom in the 1980s, 1990s, and 2000s, Nevada has never established an intermediate appellate court like the vast majority of U.S. states. Numerous attempts have failed due to a powerful cultural tradition among Nevada residents of keeping the state government and their tax burden as small as possible. The result has been extremely severe congestion at the appellate level, as all appeals must be processed through the state supreme court.
