Overview of the Committee to Study Evidence-Based Pretrial Release
The Committee to Study Evidence-Based Pretrial Release was, originally, convened under the Judicial Council of the State of Nevada in 2015. The Committee achieved its primary objective in 2019 with the adoption of the Nevada Pretrial Risk Assessment (NPRA), a validated tool designed to support fair and evidence-based pretrial decision-making. The NPRA has been active in Nevada’s courts since its adoption.
In April of 2025, the Committee reconvened with a renewed focus on revalidating the NPRA to ensure its continued accuracy and effectiveness.
Membership of the reconvened committee includes representatives from the Nevada judiciary, criminal law practitioners, and court services professionals from across the state.
