Justice Beier to retire

Here is a court press release announcing that Justice Carol Beier will retire on September 18, 2020. She has served on the Kansas Supreme Court since 2003 and before that on the Kansas Court of Appeals since 2000. This will trigger the nomination process set forth in the Kansas Constitution utilizing the Supreme Court Nominating Commission to forward nominees to the Governor. This is the third vacancy in roughly twelve months!

[Update: here is a blog post reporting the short list from the Nominating Commission for this vacancy.]

[Further update: here is a blog post reporting the Governor's selection of Judge Melissa Taylor Standridge to fill this vacancy.]
