Since there are several different courts that could handle your traffic ticket, the first thing you need to know is which court has jurisdiction. This information can usually be found at the top left corner of the traffic citation. The information will generally say something like, “Las Vegas Justice Court” or “Las Vegas Municipal Court.”

There are two Different Types of Courts in Clark County

There are two types of courts that handle traffic cases in Southern Nevada. The first type is a Municipal Court. Municipal Courts have jurisdiction over most traffic cases that arise within Las Vegas’ city limits. There are five separate Municipal Courts in Clark County including Las Vegas, North las Vegas, Henderson, Boulder City and Mesquite.

The second type of court that handles traffic ticket cases is the Justice Court system. Justice Courts have jurisdiction over any traffic ticket case within the county, but outside of city limits (you’d be surprised that Las Vegas’ city limits are smaller than we think). Essentially, there is one Justice Court per township within the county. In Clark County, there are currently eleven Justice Courts: Las Vegas, Henderson, North Las Vegas, Boulder Township, Bunkerville Township, Goodsprings Township, Laughlin Township, Mesquite Township, Moapa Township, Moapa Valley Township and Searchlight Township. Steve Dixon Law is capable of handling traffic tickets in each of these jurisdictions.
