Justice Court, Laughlin Township

The court’s published mailing address is 101 Civic Way Suite 2, Laughlin, Nevada 89029. Court line: (702) 298-4622. Fax: 702-298-7508. Email: LaughlinJCPR@ClarkCountyNV.gov. These are government court contacts, not Fast’s agency number.

The court is open Monday–Thursday, 8:00 AM–4:00 PM (closed Friday–Sunday). Justice of the Peace Gino Briscoe presides. Administrative support comes from Outlying Justice Court Administration at 330 S. Third St. #1020B, Las Vegas, NV 89155 (Court Administrator Karen Powell). Laughlin is one of the County’s outlying townships, so plan travel and calls around the four-day schedule.

Justice Court, Laughlin Township has one Justice of the Peace elected for a six-year term. The court hears probable cause, arraignments, preliminary hearings, misdemeanor and traffic trials, bond forfeitures, evictions, small claims and civil matters where the amount in controversy does not exceed $15,000.

For felony and gross misdemeanor charges, the Justice Court handles the early stages — probable cause, arraignment and the preliminary hearing. Misdemeanor and traffic trials can be completed here. The $15,000 figure is a civil jurisdiction limit, not a bail amount.

The County states: “Other duties performed by the Justice of the Peace include setting bail, issuing search warrants, summonses, protective orders and arrest warrants.” That confirms who sets bail. It does not describe where a bond is posted or how long posting takes.

The County confirms that the Justice of the Peace sets bail, and its services menu lists a Rural JC Bail Schedule page. The court’s pages reviewed for this guide do not state where, when or how bail for a Laughlin case is posted, or list posting fees. This guide reproduces no schedule amounts and borrows no other court’s posting rules; ask the court for its current instructions.

Laughlin is a separate township court, so do not assume Las Vegas Justice Court’s Pretrial Services process applies here. Its fees and windows belong to that court’s own published instructions.

The Nevada premium is 15% under NRS 697.300. That private premium is separate from the bail the judge sets and is not a court fee. An inquiry does not guarantee acceptance or release.

Court hours are Monday–Thursday, 8:00 AM–4:00 PM (closed Friday–Sunday). The court is closed Friday through Sunday, so a question raised late in the week may wait until Monday. Court line: (702) 298-4622. Email: LaughlinJCPR@ClarkCountyNV.gov.

The Justice of the Peace issues arrest warrants and summonses and hears bond forfeitures. If a date is missed, contact the court promptly; this guide does not state penalties or warrant-resolution steps the court has not published.

Traffic matters follow the County’s published local rules for Laughlin traffic offenses. Civil filings can be made through the County’s eFile service, which carries a convenience fee for card payments.

The County’s Laughlin court pages do not identify where people arrested in the township are held. Confirm custody with the arresting agency instead of assuming a facility.

The Clark County Detention Center (CCDC) covers the Clark County Detention Center in downtown Las Vegas as a general reference. Listing it here does not mean a particular Laughlin defendant is held there.

Laughlin hears misdemeanor and traffic trials and the early stages of felony cases. These service guides are background reading, not a bail schedule or a charge determination.
