Lawyers say commercial litigation in Nebraska has returned as strong as it ever
was, though more of those matters are being handled by arbitration and media-
tion and fewer are ending up in a courtroom. More businesses are putting arbitra-
tion clauses in their contracts, hoping to avoid the cost of discovery and the
uncertainty of a trial. Lawyers also note an increase in intellectual property litiga-
tion, particularly patent matters.
