Synopsis

Nebraska v. Iowa involved a dispute between the two states over water rights or boundary issues, for which the Supreme Court appointed a Special Master to conduct proceedings and gather evidence. The Court designated Senior Judge Joseph P. Willson to replace the resigned Special Master Charles J. Vogel, granting him authority to manage filings, summon witnesses, and direct further proceedings. The Court ordered that all costs associated with the Special Master's work be shared by the parties as the Court would later determine.
