Any Nebraska Appellate Lawyers Inclined To Offer a Bit of Pro Bono Advice?

I'm doing a pro bono appellate case in Nebraska, and I'd love to chat confidentially to any readers who might be inclined to offer some free advice, especially about petitions for further review in the Nebraska Supreme Court. I think I'm set on the substantive legal issues, but I'd like a Nebraska-focused perspective on my presentation. (We have very helpful and experienced local counsel helping us already, but an extra pair of ears and eyes is always helpful as well.) If you're interested, please e-mail me at volokh at law.ucla.edu. Thanks!

Well, remember, in Nebraska, everything and I do mean everything comes down to 'Husker football. Men and women... young and old... no matter.

If it's a criminal case, stay away from any reference to the past arrests on their varsity roster. ;-)

And if Tom Osborne is a litigant on the other side, you might as well pack up and go home.

As a Nebraskan, I suggest that you have Tom Osborne as co-council. He may not be a lawyer, but you'll get the full attention from the court.

Comment Policy: We reserve the right to edit or delete comments, and in extreme cases to ban commenters, at our discretion. Comments must be relevant and civil (and, especially, free of name-calling). We think of comment threads like dinner parties at our homes. If you make the party unpleasant for us or for others, we'd rather you went elsewhere. We're happy to see a wide range of viewpoints, but we want all of them to be expressed as politely as possible.

We realize that such a comment policy can never be evenly enforced, because we can't possibly monitor every comment equally well. Hundreds of comments are posted every day here, and we don't read them all. Those we read, we read with different degrees of attention, and in different moods. We try to be fair, but we make no promises.

And remember, it's a big Internet. If you think we were mistaken in removing your post (or, in extreme cases, in removing you) -- or if you prefer a more free-for-all approach -- there are surely plenty of ways you can still get your views out.
