Judicial selection method
- See also: Assisted appointment
The 55 judges of the Nebraska District Courts are appointed by the governor with help from a nominating commission. When a vacancy occurs on one of the courts, a judicial nominating commission submits the names of at least two qualified candidates to the governor, who appoints one to fill the vacancy. If the governor fails to appoint a candidate within 60 days, the chief justice of the state supreme court is authorized to select a new judge.[5][6]
Judges serve initial terms of three years, at which point they must run in yes-no retention elections occurring during the next general election. Subsequent terms last six years.[5]
The chief judge of each district court is chosen by peer vote.[5]
To serve on one of the Nebraska District Courts, a judge must be:[5]
- a U.S. citizen;
- a state resident;
- a resident of the district he or she represents (for district judges);
- over the age of 30;
- experienced with more than five years of state practice; and
- a member of the state bar.
