Are parties able to appeal an appellate court’s decision to a higher court?

Yes, parties are able to appeal an appellate court’s decision to a higher court in Nebraska. This is known as a petition for further review. A petition for further review must be filed with the Supreme Court of Nebraska within 30 days of the decision of the appellate court. The petition must include the names of the parties, the argument that the judgment should be reversed, and the reasons why the appellate court’s decision should be overturned. The Supreme Court of Nebraska will consider the petition, and if it finds the arguments sufficiently convincing, it may grant a review of the appellate court’s decision. The Supreme Court of Nebraska will then analyze the arguments of both parties and make a decision on the case. The Supreme Court’s decision is final and cannot be appealed further. However, the decision can be reviewed by the Supreme Court if the parties present substantial evidence showing that the decision was based on an incorrect application of the law. Ultimately, if a party feels that the appellate court’s decision was unjust, they can petition the Supreme Court of Nebraska for further review.
