Nebraska Court of Appeals
Template:Short description Template:One source Template:Use mdy dates The Court of Appeals is the intermediate level appellate court for the US state of Nebraska. 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. Judges sit in panels of three, decided by the chief judge.[1][2]
