Executive Summary of the Nebraska Supreme Court Strategic Agenda Accomplishments for 2010-2012
I am pleased to announce an Executive Summary of the Nebraska Supreme Court Strategic Agenda Accomplishments for 2010 - 2012.  This list of completed projects and accomplished goals represents the efforts of judges, appellate and administrative staff, along with trial court and probation employees across the state.  It is because of your professionalism and dedication to the work of the judicial branch that we have met these goals during a time our state was in one of its more difficult fiscal periods.

While this document identifies significant accomplishments for the betterment of our court and probation system, it is only a condensed summary of goals achieved.  It does not paint a true picture of the hard work that goes on in courthouses and offices in all 93 counties where court and probation services are delivered every day.  On behalf of the Administrative Office of the Courts and Probation,  my thanks for all you do to contribute to the excellence of the Nebraska Judicial Branch.  I look forward to your ongoing support, creativity, and effort in furthering the Supreme Court 2013-2015 Strategic Agenda and initiatives. -- Janice Walker, State Court Administrator

Nebraska Supreme Court Chief Justice Mike Heavican recognized Luis Sanchez of Alliance with a "Friend of the Court" award on August 15, 2012, during the Chief's visit to the Box Butte County Courthouse.

Law Day Job Shadowing and Media Relations Showcased in St. Louis at National Conference of Chief Justices
On July 24, 2012, Nebraska Supreme Court Public Information Officer Janet Bancroft and Nebraska State Bar Foundation Director Doris Huffman exhibited materials highlighting projects of the Law-Related Education Subcommittee and the Media Subcommittee of the Foundation's PEOPLE Committee.  The setting was the Civics Education Fair organized by the National Center for State Courts at the National Conference of Chief Justices and State Court Administrators Annual Meeting in St. Louis.

At a seminar preceding the Fair, West Virginia State Court Administrator Steven Canterbury remarked, "We will lose the Democracy if we don't have people educated in how democracy works."  He continued, "We can either wait around to see if things change, or we can just get in and try to do our part...."

A dozen state organizations and a few private civics education programs were invited to participate in the Fair.  Its purpose was to show a variety of outreach programs that courts around the country can offer in their own states without having to "reinvent the wheel." 

The Fair was also organized to encourage partnerships between state courts and education organizations such as the Bar Foundation.  In Nebraska, the Supreme Court and the Bar Foundation cooperate to offer programming in observation of Law Day and Constitution Day.
