A landmark lawsuit is shaking up Las Vegas’ eviction system, arguing that letting unelected hearing masters decide tenant cases violates Nevada’s Constitution. Legal aid groups and the ACLU are pushing the state supreme court to require elected judges in final eviction rulings, claiming the current setup—unique to Las Vegas—lacks accountability and unfairly stacks the deck against tenants. The case stems from a tenant’s heartbreaking experience: evicted after a five-minute hearing despite presenting evidence. Advocates say this fast-tracked process, already biased, becomes even more unjust without judicial oversight. They’re not asking to scrap hearing masters—but to ensure elected officials have a seat at the table when homes are on the line.
