Plain-English Summary
Section 6-1411 keeps the contact information for the lawyer handling a case attached to the paperwork itself. Every pleading has to carry the attorney’s name, address, Nebraska attorney identification number, email address, and telephone number. That way, the clerk, the court, and opposing counsel always have a current way to reach the attorney of record without digging through the file for an earlier document.
The one exception covers original charging documents in traffic, criminal, and juvenile matters — those do not need the attorney identification block, since they are typically filed before an attorney has entered the case the way a civil pleading would carry one from the start.
Frequently Asked Questions
What attorney information has to appear on a pleading?
The attorney’s name, address, Nebraska attorney identification number, email address, and telephone number.
Are there any pleadings that do not need this attorney information?
Yes. Original charging documents in traffic, criminal, and juvenile matters are excepted from this requirement.
Why does the rule require an attorney’s Nebraska bar number on pleadings?
It identifies the specific attorney handling the matter and helps the court and the bar track who is representing whom.
Does this requirement apply to self-represented parties?
The rule addresses the attorney handling the matter; a self-represented party has no attorney to identify under this section, though other rules address contact information for self-represented filers.
What happens if a pleading omits the required attorney contact information?
The pleading fails to meet the identification requirement, which the clerk or opposing counsel may flag.
