Judge Julie A. Martin Elected Presiding Judge of Nebraska Workers’ Compensation Court
The Nebraska Workers’ Compensation Court recently announced that Judge Julie A. Martin has been elected by her fellow judges to serve as the Court’s next presiding judge. Her two-year term will begin on July 1, 2025, and run through June 30, 2027, pending official approval by the Nebraska Supreme Court.
Judge Martin has served on the Nebraska Workers’ Compensation Court since 2015 and was most recently retained by Nebraska voters in the November 2024 election. The presiding judge is elected every two years by the court’s six judges, each of whom is initially appointed by the governor and then stands for retention by the electorate in six-year terms.
As presiding judge, Judge Martin will oversee the administrative functions of the court and help ensure the effective operation of Nebraska’s workers’ compensation system — which provides crucial protections and benefits for employees who suffer work-related injuries or illnesses.
