Nev. Sup. Ct. R. pt. XI, R. 6
Exhibits marked and/or admitted into evidence are presumed to be public documents subject to public disclosure; however, this presumption of openness may be overcome if a Judge finds and articulates with specificity, upon performing a balancing test, that there exists a countervailing interest in limiting public access. The order sealing or redacting must be as narrowly tailored as possible.
In determining whether to grant a motion to handle an exhibit (see Rule 2(c)), redact, seal or unseal an exhibit, the Judge shall balance this state’s policy favoring open public access to court records including exhibits with the countervailing and compelling government interests. Such interests shall include, but are not limited to the following: ensuring the fair and orderly administration of justice; and/or protecting public safety; and/or confidentiality.
