Chapter  4 of the Nevada Revised Statues pertains to the jurisdiction of Justice  Courts.

The Justice Court Rules of Civil Procedure (JCRCP) govern civil  actions, small-claims actions, and summary-eviction actions in all Justice  Courts of Nevada. 

The Justice Court Rules for the Las Vegas Township (JCRLV) are  local rules that are specific to the Las Vegas Justice Court.  These rules  govern civil actions, small-claims actions, summary-eviction actions,  unlawful-detainer actions, and protection-order (TPO) actions.  These rules  also regulate structural aspects of the Las Vegas Justice Court, including the  authority of the Chief Judge, the Court’s hours of operation, and methods  of case assignment.
