caption_attribution_description: English: The Regional Justice Center in Downtown Las Vegas. Like many postmodern buildings, the RJC is not perfectly rectangular, which is why some of the lines in the photo appear strange.
context_page_description: The Nevada Judiciary is the judicial branch of the Government of Nevada, which is responsible for applying the Constitution and law of Nevada. It consists of the Supreme Court, Court of Appeals, district courts, justice courts, and municipal courts. The Supreme Court oversees the administration of the judiciary.
context_section_description: The Court of Appeals is the state's intermediate appellate court. It consists of a Chief Judge and two associate judges. Each judge is elected statewide for a six-year term. The Court of Appeals follows a deflective, or "push-down", model, in which cases are assigned to it by the Supreme Court, rather than being received directly on appeal from the lower courts.
