Nebraska Revised Statutes, Chapter 25

1,556 sections across 36 Articles · 1,151 active

Chapter 25 is Nebraska's actual Code of Civil Procedure — a statute enacted by the Nebraska Legislature, cited as “Neb. Rev. Stat. § 25-N”, not a court rule. It runs from the general civil-action and limitations rules through parties, venue, service of process, pleadings, trial, evidence, judgments, execution, appeals, and dozens of standalone acts the Legislature folded into the same chapter over the years — arbitration, interpleader, small claims, structured settlements, and more. It is the companion to the Nebraska Supreme Court Rules, Chapter 6, which governs day-to-day practice in the state's trial courts under this chapter's statutory framework.

405 sections are shown unlinked because they are individually repealed, transferred to another section number, or (in one case, § 25-1286) marked 'Deleted' by the Revisor of Statutes, per the Legislature's own listing. All other section numbers reconciled against the official source are active. Only the genuine official 'Source:' amendment-history line and 'Cross References' notes are reproduced verbatim; the case-law digest under each section's 'Annotations' heading is third-party commentary and is never reproduced, per site policy.
