Attorney Sara Bockstadter, 31, of Kearney has been hired by the Webster Co. Commissioners to serve as the County Attorney following the retirement of Jerry McDole. McDole retired in June.
Bockstadter was sworn in on July 3 by District Court Judge Stephen Illingworth.
Bockstadter lives in Kearney and will commute to Red Cloud for the time being. To be elected to the position of Webster Co. Attorney a nominee must be a resident of the County but since Bockstadter was not elected but hired for the position that reguirement is not valid. There was no attorney in the county willing to take on the position.
Bockstadter graduated from the Creighton University School of Law in Omaha in 2009 so has limited experience.
She will be working in the County attorney's office on the third floor of the court house in Red Cloud on Tuesdays, and Thursdays and any other day she has court.
Bockstadter and her husband, a sergeant with the Nebrska State Patrol are the parents of two children, Levi, 17 months and Shiloh who is only 8 weeks. She presently has a law office in Kearney.
