The Nevada Supreme Court accepted its 80,000th case Tuesday, marking a record year for court filings.

The case, Patel v. Patel, is a civil appeal from the Clark County District Court’s family division, according to a release.

The state Supreme Court was established in 1864 and heard its 10,000th case in 1977. The 70,000th case was filed in 2016.

“In 2019, we received a record number of case filings, deposed of a record number of cases, and compared with last year, saw a reduction in the pending case backlog,” Chief Justice Mark Gibbons said in the release. “These results show a commitment to maintaining our work at a superior level.”
