Attorneys can use unsworn declarations

Attorneys can use an unsworn written declaration instead of a sworn affidavit when a filing needs the attorney’s statement. The declaration must be signed and dated by the attorney and made under penalty of perjury, and it has the same legal effect as a sworn statement. This does not apply to depositions, oaths of office, or oaths that must be taken before a specific official other than a notary. If signed outside Nebraska, it must say “under penalty of perjury under the laws of the State of Nebraska.” If signed in Nebraska, it must say “I declare under penalty of perjury.”
