1. A search warrant may be issued by a magistrate of the State of Nevada to search for and seize any property of an attorney engaged in the practice of law if:
(a) Such a search warrant is authorized pursuant to NRS 179.015 to 179.115, inclusive;
(b) The property to be seized cannot be obtained using a subpoena or other less intrusive means;
(c) The search warrant describes the property to be seized as specifically as possible to minimize, to the extent possible, the search and review of property that is subject to the attorney-client privilege; and
(d) The search warrant includes a statement indicating that it is the intention of the district attorney or the Attorney General that the search warrant is executed in a manner to ensure that an attorney-client privilege is not violated.
2. In determining whether a subpoena or other less intrusive means can be used to obtain the property to be seized pursuant to the search warrant, the magistrate shall consider whether the use of a subpoena or other less intrusive means of obtaining the property would likely:
(a) Compromise the criminal investigation or prosecution;
(b) Result in the obstruction or destruction of evidence; or
(c) Otherwise be ineffective.
