Nebraska Governor to Consider Nominees for Workers’ Comp Court

Nebraska’s Judicial Nominating Commission for the Workers’ Compensation Court has forwarded the names of three nominees to Gov. Dave Heineman for his consideration.

The nominees are Shirley Williams and Anne Winner, both of Lincoln, and Julie Martin, of Omaha.

The vacancy comes following the resignation of Judge Michael K. High.

The Workers’ Compensation Court administers and enforces all provisions of the Nebraska Workers’ Compensation Act, except those provisions that are committed to the courts of appellate jurisdiction or as otherwise provided by law.

Heineman’s office says he will schedule interviews with the nominees in the coming weeks.
