About the District

District of Nevada — Federal Court Overview

The United States District Court for the District of Nevada covers the entire state and is one of the busiest federal districts in the Ninth Circuit. The court operates two main divisions: the Las Vegas Division, based at the Lloyd D. George Federal Building and United States Courthouse, and the Reno Division, based at the Bruce R. Thompson Federal Building and United States Courthouse.

Nevada's federal criminal docket is substantial, driven in part by the district's large population centers, significant federal land jurisdiction, and active prosecution of drug trafficking, fraud, and immigration-related offenses. The CJA panel in Nevada is administered through the Federal Public Defender's office and includes attorneys in both divisions who handle everything from misdemeanors to capital cases.

CJA panel attorneys in the District of Nevada submit compensation vouchers through the national eVoucher system — the same platform used in all 94 federal districts. CJA-20 vouchers cover attorney fees and expenses; CJA-21 vouchers cover service providers such as investigators and interpreters. PanelTime™ works with both.

How it works

From timesheet to eVoucher in three steps

Works with any format Nevada CJA attorneys already use.

Upload your timesheet — handwritten notes, Word, Excel, Google Docs, PDF, or any format you already use, as long as it has a date, description, and hours. (see requirements)

PanelTime™ reads your entries — automatically assigns the correct eVoucher service codes, sorts services from expenses, and builds a clean import file. No service code lookup needed.

Import into Nevada eVoucher with one click. Use our free Chrome extension to automatically populate your expenses tab as well. Services and expenses, done.

✓

Review, correct, and submit — you stay in control. PanelTime™ only works from what you recorded. It removes the manual retyping step; the voucher is still yours to approve.

Common questions

Nevada CJA attorneys ask

Does PanelTime™ work with the District of Nevada eVoucher system?

Yes. PanelTime™ produces a CSV file formatted for the national eVoucher platform, which all 94 federal districts — including D. Nev. — use for CJA voucher submission. The import process is the same regardless of district.

Do I need to know the CJA service codes?

No. PanelTime™ reads your time entry descriptions and assigns the correct eVoucher service codes automatically. You review the result before importing and can correct anything that needs adjustment.

Can I use my existing handwritten timesheet?

Yes — take a photo or scan it and upload the image or PDF. As long as your sheet has a date, description of work, and hours (plus your rate if you're a service provider), PanelTime™ can read it.

What about expenses — mileage, copies, travel?

PanelTime™ separates expenses from time entries automatically. For the expenses tab in eVoucher, our free Chrome extension imports your expenses with one click after you've imported your time entries.

Does this work for CJA-21 service providers in Nevada?

Yes. For CJA-21 vouchers (investigators, interpreters, experts), include your hourly rate somewhere on the timesheet — for example, "RATE = $85" — and PanelTime™ will calculate compensation automatically.
