The Nevada Supreme Court has defined the jurisdiction of Judges presiding in the Family Division of the Eighth Judicial District. In Landreth v. Malik, the Court held that Judges in Family Court have the same powers as Judges serving in the general District Court. The difference is that Family Court Judges also have jurisdiction to hear issues dealing with family law.
It can be argued, under this decision, that Family Court Judges now have greater power than Judges serving in general District Court. This decision is likely to create a level of confusion as to what matters may be heard in Family Court.
