The Clark County Justice Court, the District court and the North Las Vegas Municipal court all have online access to their Las Vegas Court Calendar with the exception of Juvenile court cases which are not accessible on the web site – you must contact the Court directly. Henderson and Las Vegas Municipal courts require that you contact the court for information on cases and do not have links to Court Calendar information. Certain information is required in order to look up cases on line, for example to find Las Vegas Court Calendar information from The City of North Las Vegas you would need to provide the first and last name or the ticket, case or drivers license number. The Las Vegas Justice court allows you to search by defendant or attorney name, and allows you to narrow the search by court, case type, and department.

The Las Vegas Municipal Court is a division of the Las Vegas court system that handles cases involving traffic, misdemeanors and civil cases. Within this court defendants found guilty or those that plead guilty are afforded an opportunity to better their situations. This can be observed with the many court ordered programs available. Misdemeanors handled in the Las Vegas Municipal Court may result in paying a fine, but often that is not enough.

It may be just picking up garbage alongside highways or teaching adults how to read. Unfortunately for some people, drug activity is part of everyday life. When it comes to dealing with drug offenses, sometimes those found guilty are sent to jail. In certain cases, rehabilitation and other drug and alcohol programs are necessary. These court ordered programs are an attempt to make the likelihood of returning to a drug filled life less likely. Classes are designed to show users how to avoid triggers and live a normal day to day life. Many offenders avoid jail time by serving their time under house arrest.
