Published by admin on Wed, 05/01/2019 - 12:00am

Lincoln – A three-alarm fire broke out in a century-old historic building in downtown Lincoln on President’s Day 2018, leaving Legal Aid of Nebraska and others with millions of dollars in damage and no permanent office space.

The nonprofit organization has risen from the ashes of the fire with a new office space in Lincoln’s Terminal Building, which is now open to the public.

Free Press: Media of Nebraska Works to Protect Access to Public Information

Published by admin on Wed, 05/01/2019 - 12:00am

Journalists might take for granted their right to report utterances made in open court, but they have the organized efforts of Nebraska me­dia outlets to thank for a landmark Supreme Court decision establish­ing that right.

The media coalition came togeth­er to fight a North Platte judge’s or­der in 1975 to stop the publication and broadcasting of accounts of a confession or other facts “strongly implicative” of guilt in a Sutherland murder case.

Free Speech: UNL Incident Highlights University Speech Issues, Challenges

Published by admin on Wed, 05/01/2019 - 12:00am

Displaying a middle finger is so mundane that it has its own emoji.

Yet the vulgar gesture, along with some derogatory language, sparked a political firestorm at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln, igniting a debate over freedom of expression that lingers nearly two years later.

The result has been condemna­tion by national advocacy groups, challenges to university policies and political pressure to further pro­tect conservative values at UNL.

Free Speech: ACLU Nebraska: Defenders of Free Speech for Everyone

Published by admin on Wed, 05/01/2019 - 12:00am

It’s a subject Danielle Conrad and Amy Miller often find themselves addressing, but let’s be clear: Free speech needs to be defended.

It’s true, and somewhat surpris­ing, that an organization which has been around 99 years – and for more than 50 years in Nebraska – the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) often is more than a little understood.

Miller, the ACLU Nebraska’s le­gal director, feels the con­fusion stems from people not under­standing the organization is nonparti­san.

Ellick Award: Johnson Helped Spark Referrals For Unbundled Legal Services

Published by admin on Wed, 05/01/2019 - 12:00am

Karisa D. Johnson knows she will be volunteering on the second Monday of every month, but she was surprised when that few hours of commit­ment each month trans­lated into recognition for her im­pact on the legal com­munity.

Johnson is the recipi­ent of this year’s Alfred G. Ellick Lawyer Referral Award for her volunteer efforts over the past decade and for helping to establish that referrals for limited scope representation are permitted through the Omaha Bar Association’s Lawyer Referral Service.

Robert M. Spire Public Service Award: Fenner’s Legacy Spans Generations in Legal Community

Published by admin on Wed, 05/01/2019 - 12:00am

The legal profession owes a debt of gratitude to Creighton University Law Professor G. Michael Fenner.

Fenner helped preserve the Nebraska State Bar Association in the immediate aftermath of its court-mandated transition to a vol­untary membership. Fenner has facilitated visits by Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas to teach law seminars at Creighton for more than two decades. On a personal level, Fenner has mentored, en­couraged and supported countless law students and young attorneys as they began their careers.

Omaha Law League Celebrates 50th Anniversary

Published by admin on Wed, 05/01/2019 - 12:00am

Fifty years ago, wives of local lawyers and judges decided to band together for camaraderie and support. They created the Omaha Lawyers’ Wives organization and elected Patty Buckley as their first president.

They submitted their original article of incorporation as a non­profit on Feb. 20, 1969. Seven years later, almost to the day, they changed the group’s name to the Omaha Law League Foundation Inc. in order to better reflect their membership, which included judges, lawyers and others inter­ested in their mission

Civility a Common Thread Among First Amendment Freedoms

Published by admin on Wed, 05/01/2019 - 12:00am

Democracy requires participation from its citizens, who in turn need to have the information and under­standing necessary to evaluate com­plex decisions. 

The First Amendment freedoms that compose this year’s Law Day theme – “Free Speech, Free Press, Free Society” – are the basis of rep­resentative government and are inte­gral to the U.S. Constitution’s prom­ise of the “Blessings of Liberty.”
