Why does the Supreme Court require USJR statistical reporting?
The Supreme Court of Nevada issued an order in July 1999 requiring all courts to submit statistics to the Administrative Office of the Courts. NRS 1.360 requires the State Court Administrator to collect the Uniform System for Judicial Record statistics. Caseload statistics can be used to inform the public, and local and state governments about the work of the courts. Additionally, this allows researchers and persons seeking data to contact the AOC for information thereby reducing the number of requests for information received by individual courts.
