Abstract

The Nebraska Law Review is pleased to introduce in this issue a section devoted exclusively to recent decisions of the Nebraska Supreme Court. This section, to be published on an annual basis, will contain a critical discussion of recent decisions which the Nebraska Law Review believes are either cases of first impression in our court or rulings which substantially alter previous case law in Nebraska. The purpose of the Nebraska section is (1) to provide attorneys in Nebraska and elsewhere with a comprehensive study of the holdings of selected cases and an analysis of how these decisions relate to previous Nebraska decisions, and (2) to provide a forum in which members of the Nebraska Law Review can critically analyze the rationale of the cases in light of decisions in other jurisdictions. The decisions composing this first annual Nebraska section were taken from decisions handed down during the calendar year 1968. A large number of those selected are in the criminal law area because of the many constitutional issues raised by the United States Supreme Court's decisions applying constitutional amendments to the states. The subject areas and decisions discussed in this first Nebraska Supreme Court Review are as follows:
