Nebraska Supreme Court Rule Allows Reduced Fee for Military Spouses Seeking to Join Nebraska Bar

The Nebraska Supreme Court has instituted a rule that provides special consideration for attorneys who are military spouses seeking to join the Nebraska practicing bar.  The new rules allow a military spouse who is practicing elsewhere to motion in to Nebraska at a reduced fee.  While a motion application typically requires the applicant provide a qualifying bar exam score from some state, this type of application waives that rule.  Military spouses interested in applying to join the Nebraska bar should call the state bar commission at 402-471-3137.
