LINCOLN — Nebraska Supreme Court Justice Lindsey Miller-Lerman, the first woman to serve on the state’s high court and its longest-serving current member, announced her retirement effective Oct. 31. Miller-Lerman was appointed to the seven-member state Supreme Court in 1998 by former Gov. Ben Nelson, the state’s last Democrat to serve in that role. When Nebraska created a Court of Appeals in 1991, she was tapped to be one of its first judges.

“It has been a privilege to serve the citizens of Nebraska as an appellate judge since 1992,” Miller-Lerman, 78, said in a statement released by Gov. Jim Pillen’s office. Pillen, in a three-paragraph statement Tuesday announcing her retirement, thanked Miller-Lerman for her service.
