Overview of the Commission on Statewide Rules of Criminal Procedure

The Nevada Supreme Court convened the Commission on Statewide Rules of Criminal Procedure in early 2015 to address a lack of uniformity of criminal procedure rules across the state. Commission membership is comprised of experienced legal professionals and members of the Nevada judiciary; the Commission is focused on examining key, criminal procedure concerns and making recommendations for improvement on a statewide level.

 In January 2019, Justice James Hardesty took over chairmanship of the Commission with Justice Abbi Silver and Justice Lidia Stiglich serving as co-vice chairs. Under this current leadership, the Commission will ultimately make recommendations to the Nevada Supreme Court regarding possible rules and strategies for improving Nevada’s criminal procedure processes.
