NEBRASKA Part 34

STEP SEVEN - WHAT TO DO IF YOU DON'T GET WHAT YOU WANT

If you do not agree with something the judge has decided, talk to your lawyer right away. Your lawyer can ask the judge to listen to the case a second time by filing a motion for a new trial in hopes that the judge will change his/her mind. If the judge makes the same decision, or if you didn’t ask for a new trial, you can ask the Nebraska Court of Appeals or Supreme Court to listen to your case by filing an appeal. These Courts will decide whether the District Court Judge was right and fair.
