twitterNew court filing fee OK’d
Wednesday, Oct. 16, 2002 | 11:05 a.m.
A new $25 filing fee will soon be charged for motions or paperwork seeking to change or adjust a final ruling by District Court judges.
The new fee, approved by Clark County commissioners Tuesday, will be used to help cover the cost of free legal representation provided to domestic violence victims and abused children.
Clark County began providing legal assistance to children in 1999. The county has five full-time attorneys dedicated to abused or neglected children and more than two dozen lawyers who provide legal advice pro bono.
"Every child needs a voice to be able to say what they think should happen to them," Assemblywoman Barbara Buckley, D-Las Vegas, said.
