Document Filing Requirements44 rules
The court requires the submission of proposed findings of fact and conclusions of law in injunction cases, in accordance with NRCP 52.

- •Legal argument
Unless unusual circumstances exist, EX PARTE applications for temporary restraining orders are not permitted. An affidavit of counsel in accordance with NRCP 65(b) regarding efforts to contact the party seeking to be enjoined or the party's counsel must be provided with the application.
Motions to shorten time will not be granted except upon an unsworn declaration under penalty of perjury or affidavit of counsel describing the circumstances claimed to constitute good cause and that justify shortening of time. Good cause does not encompass circumstances within counsel's or a party's control. Good cause for purposes of motions to withdraw as counsel does not encompass upcoming court deadlines.
The EDCR 2.47(b) affidavit must detail the conference (or why it was impossible), attempts to resolve, and what was or was not resolved with specificity; vague statements like 'counsel could not agree' fail to comply.
Court's wording
EDCR 2.47(b) requires an affidavit detailing: (1) A personal or telephone conference occurred or an explanation why a conference impossible. Impossible means something more than being unable to reach opposing counsel the day the motions were due. Department 9 requires the 2.47 conference at least one week prior to the filing of motions in limine. (2) Attempts made to resolve the matter. (3) What was resolved, what was not resolved and the reasons counsel could not reach a resolution. The reasons why a matter was unable to resolve the issue should be stated with specificity. Indicating "counsel could not agree" fails to comply with the rule.
The court will not hear untimely motions or motions without a complete EDCR 2.47(b) affidavit.
All documents and records should be reviewed by both sides well in advance of trial. All redactions and arguments regarding records should be done in advance of trial. No document should be marked as an exhibit unless both sides have gone through the exhibit. If this is not done, parties run the risk of having their records excluded.
Exhibits must be accompanied by a table-format exhibit list with exhibit number/letter, description, bates stamp numbers, and columns for Stipulated, Date Offered, Objection, and Date Admitted, with stipulated exhibits indicated.
Court's wording
Exhibits must be accompanied by an exhibit list (EDCR 2.69(a)(2)). The list must be in a table format with the exhibit number or letter; a description of the exhibit, and bates stamp numbers should accompany each set of exhibits; and columns labeled "Stipulated," "Date Offered," "Objection," and "Date Admitted." The parties must indicate on the list exhibits stipulated as admitted.
Photographs, CD/DVD/Flash Drives, and receipts must be identified separately. DO NOT PLACE SEVERAL PHOTOGRAPHS OR RECEIPTS ON ONE SHEET OF PAPER, unless counsel stipulate to the admission of ALL of the items on the page.
Exhibits that do not comply with these requirements will not be accepted by the court.
Pursuant to NRCP 32(c), the party offering the deposition must submit to the court a copy of the deposition with the portions being offered highlighted.
If counsel intends to use depositions during trial, the original depositions must be submitted to the court clerk at calendar call per EDCR 2.69(5), unless the court has instructed other arrangements for the submission date.
Remote testimony motions must include the requisite showing of good cause under Part IX-B of the Nevada Supreme Court Rules.
Court's wording

Deposition designations must be provided and all objections to designations resolved prior to the start of trial.
The court will not hear untimely motions or motions without a complete EDCR 2.47(b) affidavit.
The EDCR 2.47(b) affidavit must detail the conference (or why it was impossible), attempts to resolve, and what was resolved or unresolved with specific reasons.
Court's wording
EDCR 2.47(b) requires an affidavit detailing: (1) A personal or telephone conference occurred or an explanation why a conference impossible. Impossible means something more than being unable to reach opposing counsel the day the motions were due.

(3) What was resolved, what was not resolved and the reasons counsel could not reach a resolution. The reasons why a matter was unable to resolve the issue should be stated with specificity. Indicating “counsel could not agree” fails to comply with the rule.
PowerPoint Presentation: If counsel intends to use a PowerPoint presentation, please provide a paper copy to the court as this will be marked as a court's exhibit, which does not go back to the Jury. If there are overlying projections or video files embedded into the PowerPoint presentations, please provide an electronic copy (CD, DVD, or Flash drive) instead of a paper copy.
Exhibits must be accompanied by a table-format exhibit list with exhibit numbers, descriptions, bates stamps, and Stipulated/Date Offered/Objection/Date Admitted columns, and the court encourages pretrial stipulation to exhibit admission.
Court's wording
Exhibits must be accompanied by an exhibit list (EDCR 2.69(a)(2)). The list must be in a table format with the exhibit number or letter; a description of the exhibit, and bates stamp numbers should accompany each set of exhibits; and columns labeled "Stipulated," "Date Offered," "Objection," and "Date Admitted." The parties must indicate on the list exhibits stipulated as admitted. The court encourages the parties to agree on admission of exhibits prior to trial when possible, as this streamlines the process for the court clerk and the jury.

Deposition designations must be provided and all objections to designations resolved prior to the start of trial.
Parties should submit written briefs that thoroughly address all issues and arguments related to each motion and include all exhibits, affidavits, and evidence that they deem relevant to the disposition of the matter.
There should be no commentary accompanying the submissions, whether within the documents, in the form of a cover letter, or otherwise.
For voluminous exhibits the clerk schedules a marking session, and counsel must provide the original exhibits to the clerk plus a copy for the judge and a copy for the witness.

Court's wording
If counsel admits any exhibits that require electronic equipment for viewing (CDs, DVDs, etc.), counsel must provide the necessary equipment for viewing during the trial. Laptops must be clear of all extraneous files.
The court will not admit only part of an exhibit. If counsel intends to admit a single page of a larger document, it should be submitted as a separately numbered exhibit.
The document should discuss issues you see in the case and your position. This should not be a document asking the court to rule on issues or a second chance at filing late motions in limine.
If depositions will be read in lieu of live testimony, counsel must provide a reader who is not participating in the trial.
The court highly encourages jury notebooks in document-intensive cases, with counsel stipulating to all contents and including witness photos and frequently referenced documents.
Court's wording
Even with the use of audio-visual equipment, the court highly encourages the use of jury notebooks in document-intensive cases. Counsel should stipulate to all the contents of the notebooks. Jury notebooks generally should include photos of witnesses and copies of documents that will be referred to frequently in trial.
The document should discuss issues you see in the case and your position. This should not be a document asking the Court to rule on issues or a second chance at filing late motions in limine.
If depositions will be read in lieu of live testimony, counsel must provide a reader who is not participating in the trial.
Larger versions of exhibits may be used as demonstrative exhibits.
The court encourages parties to submit civil trial memoranda and briefs regarding factual and legal issues that may arise during the trial.
Mid-trial briefing is rarely needed; issues are generally discussed on the record, and the court will request any briefing it deems necessary.
Court's wording
If an issue does need to be decided while trial is occurring, it is rare that a trial brief needs to be filed, generally we can discuss issue on the record and no writing is necessary. If an issue does need briefing, the court will request it.
