Jurisdiction
This court holds the following jurisdiction:[1]
| “ | The district courts are Nebraska’s general jurisdiction trial courts. This means that with a few exceptions, civil and criminal cases of all types may be commenced in and tried by the district courts. District courts also function as appellate courts in deciding appeals from various administrative agencies and from most county court cases. When acting as an appellate court, a district judge reviews the record of testimony and evidence from the county court or administrative agency in order to rule on the appeal.[2] | ” |
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.[3][4]
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.[3]
The chief judge of each district court is chosen by peer vote.[3]
To serve on one of the Nebraska District Courts, a judge must be:[3]
- 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.
