In 1937, the Nebraska State Bar Association was created by order of the Nebraska Supreme Court.[2] Its predecessor was a voluntary organization, the Nebraska Bar Association, which was founded in 1899.

Mission

The association works to help Nebraska attorneys achieve the highest standards of competence, ethics, and professionalism and to protect and promote the administration of and access to justice.[3]

Structure

The NSBA is governed by a policy-making House of Delegates, whose members are elected; an Executive Council, consisting of one delegate elected from each of Nebraska's six Supreme Court districts; a chair and chair-elect, elected by the House of Delegates; and a president, president-elect, president-elect designate and immediate past president elected by active NSBA members.
