§ 25-12,105.Foreign country.

The judicial notice scheme built by sections 25-12,101 through 25-12,107 was written for the law of sister states and other jurisdictions within the reach of that Act. Section 25-12,105 draws the line at the water’s edge. The law of a country outside the group covered by section 25-12,101 is not pulled into that scheme. It remains, in the statute’s words, an issue for the court, but the judicial-notice provisions that apply to sister-state law do not reach it.

The distinction matters in a lawsuit that turns on the law of another nation. A party still has to raise and establish what that foreign law provides, and the judge still decides the legal question rather than sending it to the jury. What the party cannot do is lean on the Act’s specific notice mechanism — the procedures built for domestic sister-state law — to get that foreign law before the court. Foreign-country law is handled the way courts handled it before the Act existed, as a matter the court works through directly rather than under a uniform statutory notice procedure.

Read together with sections 25-12,106 and 25-12,107, this section confirms that the Act was built with a defined scope. It reaches sister-state and similar domestic law; it does not extend its notice procedures to the law of foreign nations.
