Short list for district court in Lawrence includes two defenders

Here is a press release announcing that the Seventh Judicial District Nominating Commission nominated the following three persons (including two public defenders!) to fill the vacancy created by the retirement of Chief Judge Peggy Carr Kittel: Stacey Donovan, chief public defender Shawnee County Public Defender's Office; Carl Folsom III, assistant federal public defender; and Shon Qualseth, assistant attorney general. The Governor has 60 days to appoint one of these three persons.

[Update: here is a blog post reporting the Governor's selection of Stacey Donovan from this list.]
