The moderator for each show in the series will be Lincoln attorney Jim Hewitt; series coordinator is Sharon Stephan, NSBA director of public relations. . The TV show is patterned after highly successful programs of a similar nature currently running in Indianapolis and statewide in Michigan. The subjects and dates of the eight programs in the Nebraska series are: January 23: Marriage & Divorce February 27: Wills & Estate Planning March 27: Real Estate Transactions April 24: Landlord-Tenant Law May 29: The Nebraska Court System/ Small Claims Court/Trial Procedure September 25: Youth and the Law October 30: Contracts and Credit Pruchases November 27: General Legal Questions Some panelists have already been selected; however, attorneys or judges who would be interested in appearing on Ask a Lawyer should contact Sharon Stephan at the NSBA office. If the series is successful in its first year, it may continue beyond 1979. Special thanks is extended to the Lincoln Legal Secretaries Association, whose members will be answering the phone calls coming in to the ETV studio for each show. In conjunction with the Ask a Lawyer television program, a newspaper column by the same name will begin appearing around the state, also in late January. Members of the public relations committee will assist in preparing the weekly column which will answer readers' questions of a general nature. In both the column and the TV series, answers will be given with the understanding that what is presented is general legal information and not specific legal advice. Ask a Lawyer is part of the newly expanded public relations program for 1979. Comments and suggestions from NSBA members are welcome. noto courtesy or Lincoln Journal Krivosha named Chief Justice Lincoln attorney Norman Krivosha, 44, was sworn in December 22 as the new Chief Justice of the Nebraska Supreme Court.
