Richard Leiter, Director of the Library, at University of Nebraska College of Law commented that the change adopted by the Nebraska Supreme Court was rolled out after two years of planning with the goal of being UELMA compliant.
In February, our chapter program will be by
Barbara Bintliff to provide us her guidance of needs to be done to move forward
with UELMA legislation here in Texas in 2017.
For an update on the progress of UELMA being enacted check out this link to see AALL's progress chart.
Below is the original post about Nebraska's change:
Access to Court Opinions Expands
Text-searchable opinions dating back to 1871 will be available for the Nebraska
Supreme Court. The full collection of opinions of the Nebraska Court of
Appeals, beginning with its establishment in 1992, will also be
offered.
Previously, appellate court opinions were printed or were available online
through various for-profit subscription services. All published opinions will
be provided via the Nebraska Appellate Courts Online Library at ne.gov/go/opinions. Once printing of
judicial opinions in the Nebraska Advance Sheets and the Decisions of the
Nebraska Court of Appeals ceases in June 2016, opinions will be available
exclusively online.
Newly released opinions of both courts will continue to be available for 90
days on the Nebraska Judicial Branch Web site at https://supremecourt.nebraska.gov/
and from the Clerk of the Supreme Court and Court of Appeals upon request, and
from any electronic provider of legal information choosing to provide them.
Official opinions in the online library will be accessible 24/7 using smart
phones, tablets or computers from anywhere with Internet access. Access via the
online library allows the appellate courts to make their judicial opinions more
easily available to the public.
Monday, December 14, 2015
Free online access to the official published judicial opinions of the Nebraska Supreme Court and Nebraska Court of Appeals will be available to the public beginning January 1, 2016.
