The Nebraska courts system is a multi-tiered system involving both general and specific focus courts. The state has an historical interest in maintaining law and order and meting out justice as it is warranted. The courts have evolved over time and are committed to addressing the ever-changing legal issues in our society.
There are several courts that Nebraska residents may find themselves involved with. They are courts of public record and the results of their proceedings are open to the public with the exception of particularly sensitive issues or matters involving juveniles. The Supreme Court is the most powerful court in the state. The court’s responsibilities include being the state’s highest appeals court, the administrative leadership for Nebraska’s court system at all levels, regulating the practice of law through the State Bar Association and attorney disciplinary measures, and hearing appellate cases that involve constitutional issues, the death penalty, or the sentence of life in prison.
