Specialty Courts

Specialty Courts - Washoe Courts Specialty Courts Program The Second Judicial District Court operates seven Specialty Court programs for those identified with a substance use, mental health, or co-occurring diagnosis: Adult Drug Court; Felony Driving Under the Influence Court; Medication-Assisted Treatment Court; Metal Health Court; Prison Re-Entry Court; Veterans Treatment Court; and Young Offender Court. Specialty Courts serve more than 800 participants a year. Treatment Court Model Specialty Courts provide innovative and effective alternatives to traditional sentencing by engaging eligible defendants in intensive, court-supervised treatment programs. This holistic approach goes beyond simply treating substance use disorders Programs require participants to engage in individual and group substance abuse counseling, mental health counseling (based on individual needs), random drug and alcohol testing, probation supervision, collaborative case management and regular court status checks. Specialty Courts improves education, employment, housing, and financial stability. Additionally, Specialty Courts promotes family reunification, reduces foster care placements, and increases the rate of mothers with substance use disorders delivering drug-free babies. Operated by a dedicated multidisciplinary team—including a judge, defense and prosecution counsel, court officers, treatment providers, probation officers, and drug testing staff—these programs are transforming lives while protecting the public and saving money. Cost Savings According to All Rise (formerly the National Association of Drug Court Professionals, NADCP), Specialty Courts invest an average of $6,208 per participant. This investment generates substantial savings for both the State of Nevada and Washoe County by reducing public expenditures related to law enforcement, incarceration, and prosecution. For every $1.00 invested in Specialty Courts, taxpayers save up to $3.36 in avoided criminal justice costs alone. When factoring in reduced victimization and decreased use of healthcare services, total taxpayer savings increase to $27.00 per $1.00 invested. Proven Results: Reduced Crime and Improved Outcomes Specialty Courts reduce crime by 58% more than other sentencing options. Participants are six times more likely to complete substance abuse treatment compared to individuals not involved in a judicially supervised program. Without court oversight, more than 70% of substance-abusing offenders drop out of treatment, highlighting the critical role courts play in fostering accountability and success. These outcomes reinforce the value of Specialty Courts as a long-term solution for reducing recidivism and strengthening community safety.

Filing Office

Filing Office - Washoe Courts Filing Office - Home Page Learn more about Filing Office From its beginnings in 1871 as a simple red brick Italianate design to the powerful and elegant stone neoclassical façade which still houses those red brick walls today, the changes to the courthouse have been numerous. Though, whether the physical construction was brick or stone, the spirit of a fair and just government has always resided within. Acting as the heart of the informational flow to the courthouse, the Filing Office has long been the main hub for litigants and attorneys who need ready and equal access to the justice system. Through various methods ranging from information dissemination to electronic filing, the Filing Office serves more than 20,000 people per month. Considering the massive volume of intake paired with changes to legislation over the years, the Filing Office has undergone many necessary changes. Regardless, updates to the Filing Office have always held the mission statement in clear view. Updates include expansions, technology updates, re-models for more efficient flow of foot-traffic, a shift toward digital record keeping, procedural changes for increased helpfulness to self-represented litigants, and most recently the large scale change of paper filings to electronic filings. These improvements have increased efficiency for the inner workings of Second Judicial District Court and have, in turn, streamlined accessibility for the public. Mission Statement "Our mission at the Second Judicial District Court Filing Office is to facilitate equal access to justice for the community we serve and advance court business through diligent, unbiased, and timely filing practices. We ensure integrity and uniform public access to judicial records. We promote public confidence by responsible stewardship of public resources and by serving our patrons with dignity and impartiality via innovative and convenient filing methods."
