Job Description
How office affects the voter
County Attorneys essentially serve in a protection role for the people. It is their job to identify and prosecute those who commit misdemeanors and felonies.
Duties and Responsibilities
Each of the 93 counties in Nebraska has a County Attorney, who must be admitted to the practice of law in the state. County Attorneys have a broad range of duties. In counties with sufficient need, County Attorneys employ Deputy County Attorneys to assist them with their duties. County Attorneys have the authority to prosecute crimes and traffic offenses. They also can establish and administer diversion programs, which are voluntary programs that re-direct offenders from involvement in the criminal justice system or the juvenile justice system. County Attorneys manage county civil litigations and cases involving abuse or neglect of children, child dependency cases, child delinquency cases, and child status offense cases (certain conduct of minors). In addition, County Attorneys advise County Boards and other officials, represent the County in Civil actions such as Tax Equalization and Review Commission hearings, manage mental health commitment cases, determine inheritance taxes, enforce Child Support Orders, and perform coroner duties.
