Supreme Court accepting public comment on proposed new rule on municipal court judges

The Kansas Supreme Court is accepting public comment on a proposed new Rule 1204: District Magistrate Judge Serving as a Municipal Judge.

The court will accept written comment by email to publiccomments@kscourts.gov until noon Saturday, July 5. The subject line must read “Rule 1204.”

This new rule would allow non-law trained but certified district magistrate judges to serve as municipal court judges without the need to go through another training and certification process.
