Governor Picks New Scotts Bluff Judge

Governor Jim Pillen is set to pick a new county court judge for Scotts Bluff County from three top finalists—Maunette Loeks, Patsy G. Smith, and Zane D. Smith—all seasoned legal professionals with deep roots in Nebraska’s justice system. The Judicial Nominating Commission narrowed the field after interviewing five candidates, ensuring a rigorous vetting process for this pivotal role that opened when Judge James Worden retired in February. With each nominee bringing over a decade of legal experience and 20 years of Nebraska licensure, the governor’s decision will have lasting impact on the county’s judicial future.
