Abstract

The Nebraska Law Review is pleased to continue in this issue a section devoted exclusively to recent decisions of the Nebraska Supreme Court. This section contains 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 the section were taken from decisions handed down during the last half of the 1968–69 term. This updates 48 Nebraska Law Review 985 (1969), which analyzed the first half of the term. The Nebraska section does not include those cases which are or may become the subject of individual case notes. Thus this section does not represent a discussion of all of the important Nebraska decisions.
