District of Nevada

The District of Nevada holds court in Las Vegas, Reno, and Ely, serving the entire state with seven authorized judgeships. Las Vegas's gaming and hospitality industry generates a unique docket of casino-regulatory, intellectual property (trademark counterfeiting), and entertainment-contract disputes. The district also handles significant mining and public-lands litigation reflecting Nevada's history as a mining state, where the federal government owns approximately 85% of all land.
