How many district court judges serve in Nebraska?

• A. 59
• B. 6
• C. 55
• D. 7

Answer: (C)

District court judges are the trial judges serving Nebraska’s general jurisdiction courts, and the question asks for the total number across the state. Across all districts, there are 55 district court judges. This total is set to match Nebraska’s population and caseload, with the Nebraska Supreme Court coordinating with state law to appoint and seat judges in each district. The other figures don’t fit because they don’t represent the full statewide bench needed to handle the caseload; they would either undercount the seats or overestimate a number that isn’t the official total.
