2026 Judicial Workload Statistics (Formerly Weighted Caseload) and Annual Caseload Reports on Judicial Branch Website

Annual Caseload and Judicial Workload Statistics Reports for Nebraska's District, County, and Separate Juvenile courts have been uploaded to the Judicial Branch Website. As part of an ongoing effort to provide clear and accessible information, the Weighted Caseload Report has been renamed to Judicial Workload Statistics.

Caseload statistics demonstrate the volume of cases in each jurisdiction and the changes that occur over time. Data are useful in determining staffing levels and for predicting the effect on caseloads due to changes in the law.

Judicial Workload Statistics reports approximate the number of judges needed to handle the current caseload based on the calculations of a three-year rolling average of case filing data. When judicial workload statistics are used in conjunction with other compelling and critical metrics, they provide a part of an objective and standardized assessment of judicial needs and the fair allocation of judicial resources across courts in the State of Nebraska.
