Plain-English Summary
Section 25-2930 does the naming. Sections 25-2930 to 25-2942 are known, and may be cited, as the Uniform Mediation Act. That single sentence turns a run of individually numbered statute sections into a single named act that lawyers, judges, and mediators can reference as a unit rather than listing out section numbers each time.
The name comes from the Uniform Law Commission’s model act, which Nebraska adopted with its own Nebraska section numbers. Calling it “uniform” signals the purpose carried through in section 25-2941: courts applying and construing the act should keep in mind the value of matching how other states that adopted the same model act read it.
One detail worth flagging: section 25-2943, addressing court referral of civil cases to mediation, sits in the same statutory article as the Uniform Mediation Act but falls outside the 25-2930-to-25-2942 range this section names. It was enacted later and works alongside the Uniform Mediation Act rather than as one of its named sections.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the official name of sections 25-2930 through 25-2942 of Nebraska law?
The Uniform Mediation Act.
Why is it called “uniform”?
Nebraska adopted it from a model act drafted for adoption across states, and section 25-2941 directs courts to consider uniformity with other adopting states when applying it.
Does the Uniform Mediation Act cover every mediation statute in Nebraska’s Chapter 25?
Does this section itself create any mediation privilege or rule of confidentiality?
No. It only assigns the collective name; the substantive privilege, confidentiality, and conduct rules appear in the sections that follow.
Can I cite “the Uniform Mediation Act” in a Nebraska court filing instead of listing each section number?
Yes, since section 25-2930 establishes that name as the act’s citation for sections 25-2930 to 25-2942.
