On or before January 20 of each year, each active member shall certify to the Nebraska Supreme Court, through the on-line system administered by the Attorney Services Division:
The foregoing shall be certified by each active member of this Association annually through the Court's on-line system administered by the Attorney Services Division. Such certifications shall be made available to the public by any means designated by the Supreme Court. Failure to comply with this rule shall result in suspension from the active practice of law until such certification is received. An untruthful certification shall subject the member to appropriate disciplinary action. All members shall update the information within their on-line attorney services account within 30 days if 1) professional liability insurance providing coverage to the member has lapsed or is not in effect, or 2) the member acquires professional liability coverage as defined by this rule.
All certifications not received by April 1 of the current calendar year shall be considered delinquent. The Director of the Attorney Services Division shall send written notice, by U.S. mail and email, to each member then delinquent in the reporting of professional liability insurance status, which notice shall be addressed to such member at his or her last reported address, and shall notify such member of such delinquency. All members who shall fail to provide the certification within 30 days thereafter shall be reported to the Supreme Court by the Director of the Attorney Services Division, and the Supreme Court shall enter an order to show cause why such member shall not be suspended from membership in this Association. The Supreme Court shall enter such an order as it may deem appropriate. If an order of suspension shall be entered, such party shall not practice law until restored to good standing.
This rule shall not affect this Association, its rules, procedures, structure, or operation in any way; nor shall the adoption of this rule make this Association, its officers, directors, representatives, or membership liable in any way to any person who has suffered loss by error or omission of a lawyer. This rule is adopted solely for the purposes stated herein and not for the purpose of making this Association, its officers, directors, representatives, or membership insurers or guarantors for clients with respect to the lawyer-client relationship.
This rule does not create a claim against this Association, nor the Director of the Attorney Services Division of the Supreme Court, for failure to provide accurate information or a report on the insured status of any lawyer, or for implementation of any provision of these rules.
