JUDICIAL BRANCH - The Judicial Branch of Nevada State Government is the third branch of the government, co-equal with the Executive and Legislative Branches.
Article 6 of the Nevada Constitution provides that the Nevada Supreme Court shall administer the Nevada Judicial System; has exclusive jurisdiction to hear appeals for all
civil and criminal cases from District Courts; has the power to issue Writs of Mandamus, Certiorari, Prohibition, Quo Warranto and Habeas Corpus; shall proscribe the rules
and requirements for the licensure of lawyers and impose discipline as appropriate; and shall hear all appeals from the Judicial Discipline Commission for the discipline of
judges. Core functions of the Judicial Branch are provided in the constitution and are augmented by statutorily imposed duties. The Judicial Branch activity budget at the
department level includes funding for the state judiciary and the Foreclosure Mediation Program statutorially created by the 2009 Nevada Legislature.
