Prison inmates are transported from the various prisons throughout Nevada. The Board also hears Community Cases wherein persons are requesting pardon with restoration of civil rights including the right to bear arms. Two hundred and fourteen persons were checked by the scanner. U. S. Tax Court was in session for five days during which time forty cases were heard. Officers monitored these proceedings.
Tour groups are welcome during the year and are often present during oral arguments.
They are required to pass through the scanner. Although our officers do not provide tours, security is maintained during their presence in the facility both for the building and to ensure privacy for court employees. Tours included government officials from Mexico, five judges from Romania, the Ms. Senior Nevada Pageant group, senior citizens from out of state, and school groups from throughout Nevada. In addition, Boys State and Girls State groups use the court room for mock senate sessions and presentations for a period of several days each year. Entrance is gained by key card.
