Mary Weber is an American lawyer based in Omaha, Nebraska, where she is a partner at the Law Offices of Arnold J. Stern. Admitted to the Nebraska bar in 1988, she works in alternative dispute resolution, estate planning, probate, real estate, corporate, business, and franchise law.
Background
Mary Weber was born on October 11, 1961, in Omaha, Nebraska, United States. Omaha was founded on July 4, 1854, and its first survey was carried out after the creation of the Nebraska Territory, so the city was still a young settlement when the territory was organized.
By the time of her birth, Omaha had developed into a city with established civic institutions, including a long-standing legal community and a Jesuit university founded in 1878. The available record for her early life is limited, and the account of her upbringing and family circumstances is therefore not documented here.
Education
Mary Weber's documented education consists of a bachelor's degree from Creighton University, completed in 1984, and a Juris Doctor from Creighton University School of Law, awarded in 1987. Creighton was founded as Creighton College in Omaha on September 2, 1878, by the Society of Jesus, after Mary Lucretia Creighton funded a school in memory of her late husband, Edward Creighton. The institution later grew into a comprehensive university offering undergraduate, graduate, and professional programs in fields including medicine, law, business, and the arts.
The Creighton University School of Law, part of the Jesuit university, was housed in the Edward Creighton Institute on South 18th Street until 1921, when it moved to the campus, and it was accredited by the American Bar Association in 1924. During her law studies, Weber was a member of the Creighton University Law Review in 1986 and 1987. The Creighton Law Review, established in 1967, is a legal journal produced by students of the law school, and students were selected for it on the basis of class standing or writing ability during their second and third years.
Career
Mary Weber practices law in Omaha as a partner at the Law Offices of Arnold J. Stern. Her documented practice areas include alternative dispute resolution, estate planning, corporate law, real estate, probate, and business and franchise law. Among her major clients was First Westroads Bank.
She was admitted to the bar in 1988, with admission recorded for Nebraska and for the United States District Court for the District of Nebraska. Admission to the Nebraska bar allowed her to practice in the state's courts, and her later practice has been concentrated in Omaha.
Membership
Mary Weber is a member of the Omaha Bar Association and the Nebraska State Bar Association. The Omaha Bar Association was formed in 1875, when attorneys met at the Douglas County Courthouse to establish the Douglas County Bar Association, and by 1888 it had adopted the name Omaha Bar Association. The association serves attorneys practicing in Omaha and aims to promote the administration of justice and uphold the honor and integrity of the legal profession.
The Nebraska State Bar Association was created by order of the Nebraska Supreme Court in 1937 as an integrated bar, succeeding the voluntary Nebraska Bar Association founded in 1899. Its stated mission is to help Nebraska attorneys achieve high standards of competence, ethics, and professionalism, and to protect access to justice.
