Civil Cover Sheet - Nevada
NEVADA DISTRICT COURT CIVIL COVER SHEET — COMPLETION AID
Use the official form. Transfer the completed information below to the current Nevada Administrative Office of the Courts Civil Case Cover Sheet PDF. The official document is Form PA 201, Rev. 3.1. Do not file this Markdown worksheet unless the applicable clerk expressly accepts it.
NRS 3.275(2) requires the district-court clerk to provide a Court-Administrator-approved form for each civil case. The statute states that no civil case may be filed unless the initial pleading is accompanied by the form, signed by the initiating party or representative.
This worksheet follows the civil side of Form PA 201. The reverse side covers family- and juvenile-related filings. The official form directs Business Court filings to the separate Business Court civil coversheet.

These are the filings that drive a lawsuit through the system: complaints, answers, motions, briefs, discovery requests and responses, and post-judgment papers. Each has its own format requirements under federal and state procedural rules, and each has a deadline that cannot be missed without consequences. Clean, procedurally correct filings move a case forward; sloppy ones invite motions to strike, amended responses, and avoidable delays.
