Chief Justice Marla Luckert will deliver State of the Judiciary address by video

TOPEKA—Chief Justice Marla Luckert today announced she will deliver the State of the Judiciary address by video to protect the safety and well-being of members of the legislative, executive, and judicial branches.

A video of the annual address will be released the morning of Wednesday, January 27.

“Delivering my address by video allows Kansans to learn about the hard work of judicial branch employees and the many innovations our courts have undertaken to provide access to justice during the pandemic. But it avoids risking the health of our judicial and other state leaders who traditionally gather for an in-person message about the state of the judiciary," Luckert said.

Details will follow on how to watch the chief justice's State of the Judiciary address.
