The Nevada appellate shield
What survives judgment day is decided by clocks and security — shown here from the loaded rules; lane selection is counsel's.
The appeal of right — SERVICE starts it
Thirty days after written notice of entry is SERVED — not entry itself. The Nevada trigger is the service of the notice, and the tolling-motion set (including a timely NRCP 60(b) motion) extends it on the rule's own terms. Compute yours with the trace on the deadline board.
NRAP 4(a)(1)
One filing door, two courts — the deflection model
Every appeal is FILED in the Supreme Court; the Court of Appeals receives its docket by DEFLECTION under NRAP 17's assignment categories — the inverse of certiorari systems. You do not choose the appellate court; the assignment rules do.
NRAP 17
The child-custody fast track
Fast Track Child Custody Appeals run on their own compressed track — the rule's applicability list controls which family appeals ride it.
NRAP 3E
The stay is not automatic
An unsuperseded judgment is enforceable during appeal — and NRAP 8 sends the stay/supersedeas motion to the DISTRICT COURT FIRST, then the appellate court. The sequence is the rule's own.
NRAP 8
The justice-court appeal is a different machine
Appeals FROM justice court run to the district court on chapter 66's own track — a justice-court case does not use the NRAP. The $15,000 line decides which appellate machine you are in.
NRS ch. 66; JCRCP
The trial de novo is not an appeal
After mandatory arbitration, the exit is a written request for trial de novo within 30 days of service of the award — JURISDICTIONAL, and bad-faith participation WAIVES it. The de novo case then enters the Short Trial Program unless removed by the 14-day demand. A different machine entirely.

TrialVector is software — legal forms and computer programs that enable you to create legal documents — not a lawyer, not a law firm, and not a document preparation service. It provides legal information, not legal advice, is not a substitute for the advice of an attorney, and forms no attorney-client relationship.
