How often courts cite this section

citing decisions per year

Court decisions citing this, by year. The dip in the last several years is a data-coverage gap, not a real trend — our corpus holds fewer opinions from the most recent years, so recent citations are undercounted.

A person who, in a declaration made under penalty of perjury:

1. Makes a willful and false statement in a matter material to the issue or point in question; or

2. Willfully makes an unqualified statement of that which the person does not know to be true,

Ê or who suborns another to make in such a declaration a statement of the kind described in subsection 1 or 2, is guilty of perjury or subornation of perjury, as the case may be, which is a category D felony and shall be punished as provided in NRS 193.130.
