Office of Judicial Branch Education

It is essential to the public that judges and judicial branch employees continue their education in order to maintain and increase their professional competence, to fulfill their obligations under the Nebraska Revised Code of Judicial Conduct, and to ensure the delivery of quality judicial services to the people of the State of Nebraska.  The Office of Judicial Branch Education is designed to provide in-house programming for court staff, probation, and judges with guidance from the Judicial Branch Education Advisory Committee  and project leadership from each employee group within the Judicial Branch.

Nebraska Supreme Court Rule §1-503 Required continuing judicial branch education, outlines minimum continuing education requirements for all Nebraska judges, clerks, probation officers and other branch employees bound by Judicial Branch Education Standards.
