Nebraska Court of Appeals

The Court was created on 6 September 1991, following a constitutional amendment held in November of the previous year.

The Court regularly sits in the Nebraska State Capitol but sits elsewhere when convenient.

[1] The Court of Appeals consists of 6 judges, one from each Supreme Court District and are appointed by the Governor from a list nominated by judicial selection commissions.

One of those judges serves as the chief judge for a period of two years, he is elected by the other judges of the Court of Appeals and the decision is ratified by the Supreme Court.
