Nev. Dist. Ct. R. 9
Law days: Precedence of law questions; notice; continuances
1. Each district court shall designate a day or days on which law questions shall take precedence, when at issue, and be heard without previous setting or notice, unless the court, for good cause, continues the consideration thereof.
2. The absence of an attorney or a party shall not in itself be sufficient ground for a continuance, where the opposing attorney or party, whether the moving party or not, has given at least 7 days’ written notice that the opposing attorney or party will call up the law question sought to be determined on a law day specified in the notice.
3. When it appears to the court that such written notice has been given, the court shall not, unless the other business of the court requires such action, further continue the matter specified in the notice except upon a showing by motion supported by affidavit or oral testimony that such continuance is in good faith reasonably necessary and is not sought merely for delay or by reason of neglect.
