Rule 1102 Act, when effective.

This rule sets the starting date for when Nebraska's evidence rules apply. If a trial began after December 31, 1975, these rules govern how evidence is handled in that case.

For anyone looking at older cases, this means trials that started before that date followed different rules, since the current evidence rules weren't in place yet. In practice, this rule matters mostly for historical or legal research purposes, since virtually all active cases today started well after 1975 and are automatically covered by these rules.
