Lincoln (Neb.) - Sept. 25, 1997 - A new organization at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln will help attorneys across the country access university resources for litigation.
The only comprehensive center of its kind in the United States, the UNL-based Sci-Jur organization will provide attorneys with services such as legal strategy, expert witnesses, research, witness preparation, mock trials and jury consultation.
The Sci-Jur service will be a one-stop shop for legal professionals and may prove especially helpful to small- and medium-sized firms that don't have easy access to such resources, said Sci-Jur Director Thomas Hafemeister.
Although the university provided funding for start-up costs, Hafemeister said Sci-Jur ultimately will be self- supporting. The service is coordinated by the College of Law and the psychology department at UNL.

9367.
