Certifications and certificates by licensed attorneys

(A) Wherever consistent with applicable statutes, these rules contemplate that instead of providing an affidavit, an attorney shall provide a certificate or be required to certify to the truth or accuracy of a statement or filing. Wherever any court rule requires a certificate of an attorney or requires an attorney to certify to the truth or accuracy of any statement or filing, the duty imposed by Neb. Ct. R. of Prof. Cond. § 3-503.3(A)(1) applies to such certificate or certification. (B) Before making such certificate or certification, the attorney shall use due diligence to determine the truth or accuracy of the matter certified. § 2-217 amendments adopted June 9, 2021, effective January 1, 2022.
