About the District

District of Nebraska — Federal Court Overview

The United States District Court for the District of Nebraska covers the entire state and holds court in Omaha (Roman L. Hruska United States Courthouse), Lincoln, and North Platte. Omaha handles the majority of federal criminal appointments in the district. D. Neb. sits within the Eighth Circuit and serves a state of nearly two million people spread across the Great Plains, with population concentrated in the eastern corridor between Omaha and Lincoln.

The district's federal criminal docket includes drug trafficking (Omaha sits at the intersection of I-80 and I-29, making it a major narcotics distribution point), firearms offenses, public corruption, financial fraud, and immigration matters. The Omaha metropolitan area generates the majority of federal prosecutions, while North Platte and the western divisions see cases arising from I-80 traffic stops and agricultural fraud. CJA panel attorneys in D. Neb. handle a range of cases from straightforward drug possession matters to complex multi-defendant trafficking conspiracies.
