SCAM ALERT!

The Eighth Judicial District Court has learned that scammers are sending fraudulent jury duty summons to Clark County residents. These fake notices may look official and could include a jury ID number, group number, unfamiliar phone numbers, or even a counterfeit QR code. They may also list reporting dates that don’t match our court schedule (for example, a Saturday).

If you receive a suspicious jury notice, do not respond, scan any QR codes, or provide any personal information.

To verify your summons: Visit: clarkcountycourts.us/departments/jury-services. Scroll down and click on “Complete Jury Questionnaire,” then click “Sign On” and enter your Juror ID and zip code. Or call Jury Services directly at 725-215-1011.

Tara Clark Newberry, District Court Judge for Department 21, is hosting a three-part Law Clerk Civil Boot Camp. This valuable training series is open to all District Court law clerks, both new and experienced, and covers the full journey of a civil case from the initial filing to closure.

This boot camp offers law clerks a deeper understanding of the process and the "how" and "why" behind civil practice, enabling them to improve efficiencies in processing civil cases.
