Neb. Sup. Ct. R., ch. 3, art. 3, Preface

As amended through November 11, 2024
Preface

The Nebraska Supreme Court has the inherent power and duty to prescribe standards of conduct for attorneys admitted to practice law in Nebraska; to determine what constitutes grounds for the discipline of attorneys: to disbar, suspend, censure, or reprimand for cause attorneys whose failure to comply with the obligations of a member of the bar has been duly established.

Attorneys are a part of the judicial system of the State and are officers of its courts. A license to practice law confers no vested right, but is a conditional privilege, revocable for cause.

The discipline of attorneys is for the protection of the public, the profession, and the administration of justice.
