ABC 8 — Two UNL law students get the rare opportunity to argue before the Supreme Court, something many practicing attorneys will never have the chance to do. Jayden Barth and Rachel Tomlinson Dick are both third-year law students at UNL, have been preparing since December for their hearings on Feb. 4. “When we got the email, I looked at my clinic partner (Tomlinson Dick), and said ‘wow,’” said Barth, who will practice family law after graduation in May. “This is a great opportunity, and a little scary, but there are not many law students who can say they’ve argued in front of a supreme court by the time they graduate. Most attorneys go their entire career without being in front of the Nebraska Supreme Court, so this was just really incredible.” The case they argued involves a set-aside petition for a conviction from the 1980s.  The petition was initially denied by a district court judge, despite agreement from both sides that the petition should be granted.
