What are Nevada civil laws concerning witnesses?

Question

Is there a law, and if so what is it, that requires one party in a civil case to notify the opposing party of all witnesses that will be presented?

Answer 1

Yes, Nevada Rule of Civil Procedure 16.1(a)(3):
In addition to the disclosures required by Rule 16.1(a)(1) and (2), a party must provide to other parties the following information regarding the evidence that it may present at trial, including impeachment and rebuttal evidence:



(A) The name and, if not previously provided, the address and telephone number of each witness, separately identifying those whom the party expects to present, those witnesses who have been subpoenaed for trial, and those whom the party may call if the need arises;



(B) The designation of those witnesses whose testimony is expected to be presented by means of a deposition and, if not taken stenographically, a transcript of the pertinent portions of the deposition testimony; and



(C) An appropriate identification of each document or other exhibit, including summaries of other evidence, separately identifying those which the party expects to offer and those which the party may offer if the need arises.



Unless otherwise directed by the court, these disclosures must be made at least 30 days before trial. Within 14 days thereafter, unless a different time is specified by the court, a party may serve a list disclosing (i) any objections to the use under Rule 32(a) of a deposition designated by another party under subparagraph (B), and (ii) any objection, together with the grounds therefor, that may be made to the admissibility of materials identified under subparagraph (C). Objections not so disclosed, other than objections under NRS 48.025 and 48.035, shall be deemed waived unless excused by the court for good cause shown.

Answer 2

Typically in discovery there will be an interrogatory (a written question) asking for all of your witnesses. Prior to the trial the judge or the court may have a rule requiring that you file a trial memorandum describing the evidence you will be putting in and any evidentiary objections that you expect to have with the other side's case.
