Most recently applied in Sanchez v. Cegavske (October 2016)
(Added to NRS by 1993, 2664; A 1995, 2257)
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.
