Weimer Gets His Day In Court (Supreme Court)

On Aug. 31, Judge Derek Weimer of Sidney was invited to sit with the Nebraska Supreme Court. Judge Weimer is the district judge of the 12th District, which includes Kimball, Cheyenne and Banner counties, and nine other Panhandle counties.

There are seven justices on the Nebraska Supreme, including Chief Justice Mike Heavican and six associate justices. The opportunity for Weimer arose because on specific occasions a justice must recuse him or herself from a case, and a district judge or Court of Appeals judge is asked to sit with the Supreme Court. Aug. 31 was Judge Derek Weimer day.
