Nev. Sup. Ct. R. 62

As amended through October 9, 2024
Rule 62 - Subpoenas and Compulsion of Testimony
1. In conducting investigations and hearings into the qualifications of an applicant for admission, the board of bar examiners shall have the power to compel the attendance of witnesses and the production of books, papers and documents pertaining to the matter under investigation by subpoena issued by the clerk or any justice of the supreme court.
2. On request in writing by a member of the board of bar examiners or the admissions director of the state bar, the clerk of the supreme court may issue subpoenas in blank.
3. The applicant shall have the power to compel the attendance of witnesses, and the production of books, papers and documents pertaining to the matter under investigation; but the applicant shall not have the power to compel attendance of any member of the board of bar examiners or of the board of governors, nor shall the state bar or the board of bar examiners be compelled to produce its books, papers and documents pertaining to the matter under investigation. When an applicant requests subpoenas pursuant to this rule, the applicant shall make such request in writing to the admissions director of the state bar and shall accompany the written request therefor with the names of the persons to be subpoenaed, together with necessary witness fees and mileage as required by Nevada Revised Statutes.
4. No witness shall be compelled to attend a hearing from outside the county where such hearing is held unless such witness resides within 100 miles of the place of hearing. Subpoenas shall be issued in the same form and manner, except as otherwise provided by these rules, as provided in the Nevada Rules of Civil Procedure.
5. Whenever any person subpoenaed to appear and give testimony or to produce such books, papers or documents as required by subpoena refuses to appear or to produce the books, papers or documents required, or to testify before the board of bar examiners, or whenever any person before the board refuses to answer any pertinent or proper question, that person shall be deemed in contempt of the supreme court.
6. Attendance of witnesses, inspection of documents and materials, and compulsion of testimony on deposition outside the State of Nevada may be required in the same manner as is provided for in civil matters.
