Posted by Michael in Administration, Justice Court on May 28th, 2009
LAS VEGAS – The Las Vegas Township Justice Court has added a civil case search feature on the Clark County Courts court case lookup website located at http://courtgate.coca.co.clark.nv.us. The Civil Search allows attorneys, litigants and the public to access civil cases in the Justice Court by case number, case name or party name.
The civil case search gives the public access to various case types, including: Civil, Confession of Judgment, Small Claims, Landlord/Tenant, Traffic or Misdemeanor Citation and Traffic Citation Juvenile. A help feature describes case types in further detail.
The ability to search for civil cases adds to the Justice Court’s traffic and criminal calendar case search features. In addition, individuals needing to fulfill court requirements to attend driver education courses can arrange to attend DUI and Traffic Schools online through the Justice Court’s web site at http://www.clarkcountycourts.us.
“This is just one more step in our efforts to increase the public’s access to information in the Justice Court,” said Las Vegas Township Justice Court Chief Judge Ann Zimmerman.
