The Chief Justice rotates on the Supreme Court of Nevada, almost always to a judge who is in their final two years of their term. Following the expansions of the court in 1967 and 1999, judges began to split what had traditionally been a two-year term between two or three justices, allowing each justice the opportunity to be Chief Justice during their six-year term.
The Chief Justice is the administrative head of the court system, with authority to divide the work of the Supreme Court among the justices, assign district judges to assist in other judicial districts or to special functions, and assign retired judges or justices to appropriate temporary duty.
