The nominating commission will conduct its work in accordance with the Kansas Open Meetings Act and Executive Order 18-08.
Governor Laura Kelly signed Executive Order 20-47 on June 15, 2020, establishing the Court of Appeals Nominating Commission. Under Kansas law, the Governor appoints judges to the Court of Appeals subject to confirmation by the Senate. The Commission will review each applicant’s background and qualifications, conduct interviews, and then submit three nominees for the Governor to consider.
