The NSCLL has an online catalog to assist you in locating specific books in our collection. The catalog is also helpful in identifying LexisNexis Digital Library e-books and electronic resources available in HeinOnline, PLI Plus, and VitalLaw (access to these latter resources is limited to in-library use only).
A large part of the NSCLL's collection is available in microfilm or microfiche format.
Microfilm
The Law Library houses a collection of microfilm for the Nevada Supreme Court Clerk's office, which covers court cases from 1 - 34561. Documents included on microfilm include case opinions, briefs, and exhibits. Many of the cases on film are not currently digitized through the Nevada Supreme Court Case Management system. Please ask a staff member at the Reference Desk for assistance.
Microfiche
The Law Library also maintains a collection of microfiche. The microfiche contains bill histories, committee minutes and exhibits from the Nevada Legislative sessions from 1965 - 2005. The microfiche is separated by year (sessions run every odd year with possible special sessions in between) and are then arranged alphabetically by Assembly and Senate committees.
If you would like documents that may be on microfilm or microfiche, please contact the NSC Law Library by email at reference@nvcourts.nv.gov or by phone at 775-684-1640 and a staff member will be available to pull the requested film or fiche for you for use in the Law Library.
Law Library staff members can scan and email documents of 10 pages (double-sided) if you provide specific information for what you are looking for. For larger requests, the Law Library will charge a research and printing fee of $0.25 per page for microfilm/microfiche document delivery requests.
The microfilm/microfiche reader is free to access and use in the Law Library. Please ask a staff member at the Reference Desk for assistance in how to use the machine.
The Law Library maintains a collection of self-help materials for patrons who are navigating the legal system on their own.
