A historical profile outlines Judge Westover’s 25 years on the bench tracing his youth in Texas cattle driving, education at the University of Nebraska, and early legal training in Lincoln and David City. It notes his admission to practice in 1879 and his lifelong commitment to law.
In March 1885 he moved with his young wife to Sheridan County and set up a homestead near Gordon while opening a law office. He built a reputation in criminal cases across Nebraska, Wyoming, and South Dakota, later serving as Sheridan County attorney for two terms. In 1895 he was elected district judge, and in his first year he sent forty eight cattle thieves to the penitentiary.
Judge Westover has presided over fifty eight homicide trials and led landmark cases including the largest verdict west of the Missouri in a death loss against a railroad, and the state’s largest damages decree. Though rooted in common law, his rulings span all branches, and he eyes possible Supreme Court candidacy in the next election.
