Four cases will be heard on Nov. 8 and six are scheduled for the following day. The panel will consist both days of Justice Nancy Becker, Justice James Hardesty and Justice Ron Parraguirre.

The Nevada Supreme Court is the highest court in the Nevada judicial system. Each justice is elected to a six-year term, with the exception of the two new justices elected in 1998, who held two-year terms until they were reelected in the 2000 election; subsequent terms are for six years.

The main constitutional function of the Supreme Court is to review appeals from the decisions of the district courts. The Supreme Court does not pursue fact-finding by conducting trials, but rather determines whether legal errors were committed in the rendering of the lower court's decision. The court can affirm, modify or set aside the decision on appeal. The court must consider all cases filed.
