Friends, family, and colleagues gathered to honor the last docket for Kansas Court of Appeals Judge Henry Green on Wednesday, Oct. 16, at the Leavenworth Justice Center. Green is the longest-serving judge on the court having been appointed to the bench in 1993. #KSCourts

More than 700 people participated in the inaugural Kansas Child Welfare Summit April 15 and 16. The summit was a call to action to leaders and child welfare justice partners to create lasting improvement in child welfare.

Once again, a member of the Appellate Defender Office, Pat Dunn, will be advocating on the Court's travel docket. We're excited for his travels to Dodge!
I'm also thankful for the hard work of the Clerk's Office, including the clerk himself who obviously does the heavy lifting.
As part of the @ABAesq 2023 National Celebration of Pro Bono, the Kansas judicial branch honored Robert Moody, Daren Bruschi, Scott Stockwell, and Matt Ellis for their contributions to pro bono efforts in Kansas. #KSCourts

This morning, I had the honor of speaking at the Child Welfare Summit Soft Launch.
These kids need help and we must come together to find the best direction for them. Thank you for inviting me to speak to such a great crowd. I look forward to the full summit next April.
“The tragedy we have is these things become politically engaged. It really is a tragedy, because these kids, they don’t care if you’re Republican or Democrat, or if your title is senator, governor, chief, it doesn’t matter. They need help." #ksleg https://t.co/aOB743akWi
The Senate president, who made the governor's failure to fix the foster care system a talking point in last year's campaign, hopes the media doesn't make the subject "a political football" when he's up for re-election next year #ksleg https://t.co/aOB743aSLQ
Kansas Supreme Court plans two-day child welfare summit as collaboration among the three branches of government, the legal community, child welfare partners and experts, and families and children with lived experience within the foster care system #ksleg https://t.co/aOB743akWi
Justice Standridge has championed child welfare in her work and perdonally. Glad to see the Kansas Supreme Court plan a child welfare summit to forge “better paths forward”—with key legislative leaders involved. https://t.co/uVWdlECLkJ
The #CLE Providers Conference has grown from 24 registrants in 2006 to more than 80 from 7 states this year. It’s an important forum, as #KansasCLE accredits more than 14K CLE programs from nearly 1K providers each compliance period. #KSCourts
A record number of new judges completed orientation this week. The large number is due to many retirements over the last year and 23 new judge posts—the first since 2008—made possible by funding from #ksleg. #kscourts
I enjoyed being the lead-off presenter—on procedural fairness—this morning for the
@KSCourts New Judge Orientation in Topeka. Since the new-judge session in 2021 was on Zoom, we had a larger group (about 80) today so all could have a full in-person session. #kscourts#ksleg 1/x
The judicial branch will increase the number of veterans treatment courts operating in Kansas by three and enhance existing treatment court operations thanks to three grants from the @DOJBJA#kscourts
