New to Nebraska

I recently relocated from my hometown in the Black Hills of South Dakota to Holdrege, Nebraska.  It has definitely been a change for a girl used to seeing mountains every day to go to the prairies.  However, the landscape is not the only thing that is different about living in Nebraska.

On my other blog, Back in the Black Hills, I talk about legal issues in South Dakota.  On this blog, I will discuss legal issues relating to Nebraska.  From time to time, I may post a topic on both blogs and talk about the differences between the law in Nebraska and South Dakota, as those may be of interest to readers interested in both states' law.

I hope that the topics discussed are of interest to you!  Happy reading!
