B. Pre-trial proceedings

Overview

Nebraska

Pretrial conferences and motion hearings are often held in a judge’s chambers as a matter of comfort and/or convenience to the court and counsel. The author’s experience has been that such hearings are moved to the courtroom, thus open to the public, upon request by any member of the public. While there is no Nebraska case law, depositions are usually conducted in private law offices, where the public does not have a legal right to be.
