Terms Used In Nevada Revised Statutes 472.070

  • county: includes Carson City. See Nevada Revised Statutes 0.033
  • Equitable: Pertaining to civil suits in "equity" rather than in "law." In English legal history, the courts of "law" could order the payment of damages and could afford no other remedy. See damages. A separate court of "equity" could order someone to do something or to cease to do something. See, e.g., injunction. In American jurisprudence, the federal courts have both legal and equitable power, but the distinction is still an important one. For example, a trial by jury is normally available in "law" cases but not in "equity" cases. Source: U.S. Courts
  • rangeland fire protection association: means a nonprofit association formed for the purpose of protecting rangeland from wildfire pursuant to NRS 472. See Nevada Revised Statutes 472.005
