Nebraska's Discovery Footprint — Omaha Fortune 500 + Offutt AFB / STRATCOM + Statewide Agribusiness

Nebraska's discovery geography is unusually concentrated for a rural state. Douglas County (Omaha) is the state's corporate core — home to Berkshire Hathaway (Warren Buffett's headquarters), Union Pacific Railroad (the largest Class I railroad in the U.S.), Mutual of Omaha, Kiewit Corporation (one of the largest construction and engineering firms in North America), First National Bank of Omaha, ConAgra Foods, and Nebraska Medicine (the state's largest academic medical center, tied to the University of Nebraska Medical Center). Sarpy County — adjacent to Omaha — hosts Offutt Air Force Base and U.S. Strategic Command (USSTRATCOM), the unified combatant command responsible for U.S. strategic nuclear deterrence, making Sarpy a major defense, federal-employment, and security-clearance discovery target. Lancaster County (Lincoln) is the state capital and hosts the University of Nebraska-Lincoln plus Bryan Medical Center. Beyond the metros, Nebraska is a national agribusiness and meat-packing hub — Tyson Foods (Dakota City/Madison), Cargill (Schuyler), ADM, Smithfield (Crete), JBS USA (Omaha), and Case New Holland (Grand Island) all drive rural-county discovery. Plant-based and feedlot litigation routinely targets Nebraska witnesses.

Nebraska JUSTICE eFiling — Statewide Electronic Filing Through supremecourt.nebraska.gov

Nebraska operates the JUSTICE electronic filing system, the statewide eFiling platform for Nebraska District Courts, County Courts, and Separate Juvenile Courts, administered by the Nebraska Supreme Court. JUSTICE eFiling supports civil filings statewide including § 6-330(A) UIDDA requests. The $75 per-subpoena statutory fee is paid at filing and remitted by the clerk to the Nebraska Supreme Court's Counsel for Discipline Cash Fund. Served 123 LLC files via JUSTICE eFiling as the default path on every Nebraska order and advances the $75 fee.

Nebraska UIDDA Overview

Subpoena Domestication in Nebraska

Nebraska adopted the Uniform Interstate Depositions and Discovery Act on January 27, 2021 (effective February 16, 2021), by Nebraska Supreme Court rule amendments to Neb. Ct. R. Disc. §§ 6-328 and 6-330(A). The current § 6-330(A) was further amended effective January 1, 2025. Like Minnesota, Montana, and several other states, Nebraska adopted the UIDDA as a court rule rather than a statute — under the Nebraska Supreme Court's inherent authority over rules of civil procedure.

Under § 6-330(A)(b), a party submits a Request for the Issuance of a Nebraska Subpoena for a Proceeding in a Foreign Jurisdiction — a specific Nebraska form described in the Appendix to Rule 30(A) — to the clerk of the District Court in the Nebraska county where discovery is to be conducted. The request must attach (1) the foreign subpoena for each person to be served and (2) a list of all counsel of record and self-represented parties including email addresses. The clerk promptly issues a Nebraska subpoena incorporating the foreign subpoena's terms.

Nebraska's UIDDA carries a distinctive $75 per-subpoena issuance fee paid to the clerk — higher than most UIDDA states, and earmarked specifically for the Nebraska Supreme Court's Counsel for Discipline Cash Fund. Reissuance also requires an additional $75. Submission does not constitute an appearance in Nebraska courts or the unauthorized practice of law per § 6-330(A)(d)(1). Service is governed by Neb. Rev. Stat. §§ 25-1223(9), 25-1226(1), and 25-1228(2). Nebraska has 93 counties organized into 12 judicial districts.

⚠️ Attorney Certification Required at Submission: Under § 6-330(A)(d)(2), the attorney or self-represented party submitting the request certifies that the foreign subpoena was properly issued under the foreign jurisdiction's rules. Attorneys not admitted to practice in Nebraska further certify they are admitted in the foreign jurisdiction where the proceeding is pending. Served 123 LLC handles the certification language on every submission.
Same-Day Rush in Five Hub Counties: Same-day rush service following clerk issuance is available in Douglas (Omaha — Berkshire Hathaway, Union Pacific, Mutual of Omaha, Nebraska Medicine), Sarpy (Offutt AFB, USSTRATCOM), Lancaster (Lincoln — state capital, UNL, Bryan Medical), Hall (Grand Island), and Buffalo (Kearney). These five counties contain the bulk of Nebraska's corporate, defense, government, healthcare, and institutional witness targets.
ℹ️ No Local Nebraska Counsel Required for Routine UIDDA: Under § 6-330(A)(d)(1), submission to the District Court clerk does not require Nebraska Bar admission, does not constitute an appearance, and is expressly not the unauthorized practice of law. Nebraska counsel is needed only if motions to quash under § 6-330(A)(e), enforcement proceedings, or other substantive court hearings arise.

Common Questions

Nebraska Subpoena Domestication FAQ

The most common questions about domesticating subpoenas in Nebraska — including Nebraska's 2021 UIDDA adoption, § 6-330(A), the $75 statutory fee, attorney certification, and JUSTICE eFiling.

Yes. Nebraska adopted the Uniform Interstate Depositions and Discovery Act by Nebraska Supreme Court order on January 27, 2021, effective February 16, 2021, by amending Neb. Ct. R. Disc. §§ 6-328 and 6-330(A). The current § 6-330(A) was amended effective January 1, 2025. Nebraska was a late UIDDA adopter — before 2021, Nebraska required an order from the district court where the witness resided. Under the current rule, a party submits a Request for the Issuance of a Nebraska Subpoena for a Proceeding in a Foreign Jurisdiction to the clerk of the district court in the Nebraska county where discovery is sought, and the clerk promptly issues a Nebraska subpoena. Filing does not constitute an appearance in Nebraska courts or the unauthorized practice of law.
The District Court clerk in the Nebraska county where discovery is to be conducted. Nebraska has 93 counties organized into 12 judicial districts, and the District Court is Nebraska's general-jurisdiction trial court. For a deposition, the proper county is where the witness resides, is employed, or regularly transacts business. For document production or premises inspection, it is the county where the documents or premises are located. The filing fee is $75 per subpoena issued, which is remitted to the Nebraska Supreme Court's Counsel for Discipline Cash Fund.
Nebraska concentrates discovery volume in three distinct hubs. Douglas County (Omaha) is the state's corporate core — home to Berkshire Hathaway (Warren Buffett's headquarters), Union Pacific Railroad, Mutual of Omaha, Kiewit Corporation, First National Bank of Omaha, ConAgra Foods, and Nebraska Medicine (the state's largest academic medical center). Sarpy County is home to Offutt Air Force Base and U.S. Strategic Command (USSTRATCOM) — the unified combatant command responsible for U.S. strategic deterrence, a major defense and federal-employment discovery target. Lancaster County (Lincoln) hosts the University of Nebraska–Lincoln, state government agencies, and Bryan Medical Center. Beyond the metros, Nebraska is a national agribusiness and meat-packing hub — Tyson Foods, Cargill, ADM, Smithfield, and JBS all maintain significant Nebraska operations.
No. Local Nebraska counsel is not required for routine UIDDA issuance. Section § 6-330(A)(d)(1) expressly provides that a request for issuance of a subpoena does not constitute an appearance in Nebraska courts or the unauthorized practice of law. Out-of-state attorneys submitting a UIDDA request must certify that the foreign subpoena was properly issued under the foreign jurisdiction's rules and that they are admitted to practice in the foreign jurisdiction. Nebraska counsel is needed only if motions to quash, enforcement proceedings, or other substantive court hearings arise.
$75 per subpoena issued under Neb. Ct. R. Disc. § 6-330(A). If the clerk reissues a subpoena, an additional $75 fee applies. The fee is remitted by the clerk to the Nebraska Supreme Court's Counsel for Discipline Cash Fund. Served 123 LLC advances the $75 filing fee on every Nebraska order.
District Court clerk issuance typically completes within 2 to 4 business days of submission, depending on local clerk volume. Service on the witness generally follows within 1 to 5 business days. Same-day rush service is available in Douglas (Omaha), Sarpy (Offutt AFB / STRATCOM area), Lancaster (Lincoln), Hall (Grand Island), and Buffalo (Kearney) — the five Nebraska hub counties.
Under Nebraska law, witnesses subpoenaed for attendance are entitled to a statutory daily attendance fee plus a mileage rate (the same rate paid to state workers) for travel beyond one mile. Witness fees and mileage are tendered at the time of service. Served 123 LLC confirms the current statutory rates and prepares witness fee tenders as part of every Nebraska attendance service.
