Although the heading of your question refers to Nevada, your question relates to a jury trial for dui. In Nevada, only felony dui involves a trial by jury. If you lost a jury trial, you would have 30 days in which to file an appeal. A person can raise any legal issues which were raised during the trial as well as the issue as to whether there was sufficient evidence to support the jury verdict. An appellate court does not review the evidence to make an independent decision as to whether the case was proven beyond a reasonable doubt but on whether "any reasonable trier of fact" could have reached the decision. You may raise the issue on appeal that the jury was not properly instructed as to legal matters such as the fact that an accused does not have to present any evidence at trial.

It depends if it is a 1543 a or b. If your suspension was DUI related, then you better get good counsel to avoid a Mandatory 90 day jail sentence.
