This is the part of the court built for ordinary money arguments. The procedure is stripped back, and there is a ceiling on the amount at stake.
Maximum claim
Two venues are usually open: where events took place, or where the other side is based.
One dispute cannot be broken into several cases to slip under the cap.
The court decides who pays whom and how much. Anything beyond money goes to a higher court.
An attorney may appear at the hearing in Nevada, though nobody has to have one. The process assumes you will speak for yourself.
Minors take part through a guardian appointed by the court.
This state expects your supporting evidence to be submitted with the filing, not just brought to the hearing.
Over the limit? Either bring the figure down to the maximum and remain in small claims, or file the whole amount in the regular civil court. The amount given up is usually gone for good.

It's built to be navigable without a lawyer. Here's the shape of a case from start to finish.
Set out the claim on the court's form, identify the correct courthouse, and pay the fee.
The defendant receives the papers through formal service and can reply or negotiate an end to it.
Expect a brief session rather than a trial, in person or by video where available, with a decision at the end or soon after.
This is the route a Clark County case takes, whether it starts in 88901 or anywhere else among the county ZIP codes. Las Vegas Justice Court (Regional Justice Center) lists (702) 671-4528 as its number.
The defendant must be given formal notice after filing. This is service of process, and as a rule you are not permitted to serve the papers yourself. In Nevada, courts typically use delivery arranged by the court or email service where the court allows it.
A sheriff, a constable, a professional server, the court clerk using certified mail, or an uninvolved adult can all serve papers, depending on local rules. Fees and permitted methods vary.
Courts set their own cut-off for how many days before the hearing notice must land. The clerk gives you that date along with the hearing date.
The person who delivered the papers signs a proof of service. That document goes to the court ahead of the hearing.
Service is where many self-filed cases stall. Squabble can coordinate professional Service of Process so it's done correctly and on time.
Addresses in Clark County include places such as Blue Diamond, Boulder City and Bunkerville. A Clark County address carries one of its 123 ZIP codes, 88901, 88905 and 89002 among them.
