THE COURT SYSTEM

__________ the Supreme Court has a Chief Justice and six associate justices. ________the Six associate justices each come from a different area of the state called a district, and the Chief can come from anywhere in the state. _______the Governor appoints the justices from a list given to him by a special committee whose job is to recommend people be judges.

The Supreme Court's main jobs are to look at cases from other courts to be sure that they didn't make any mistakes, and to see that the state's court system runs smoothly. ___________ it also looks at all cases involving the death penalty or life in prison, or when the case has a question about the Constitution of the State of Nebraska.

_____________ the Supreme Court is also in charge of all the lawyers in the State of Nebraska.

__________________ the court of appeals has six judges, one from each of the same six districts as the Supreme Court. ____________ one of these six judges is appointed by the Supreme Court for a one year term as chief judge.

The court of appeals' job is to hear all appeals not involving penalties of death, or life in prison. So, whenever someone is unhappy with the decision given by a lower court (usually a county or district court), they can have the court of appeals hear the case again, to see if anyone made any mistakes that could make them change the decision.

There are twelve judicial districts and 55 district court judges to serve all 93 of Nebraska's counties. ______district courts hear all serious criminal cases, civil cases involving more than $45,000, and divorce cases.
