Court of Appeals to hear cases at HCC April 14

(KNZA)--The Kansas Court of Appeals is taking its courtroom on the road—this time to Highland Community College.

On Tuesday, April 14th, a panel of judges will hear two cases beginning at 9:30 a.m. inside Culbertson Auditorium. The panel will be led by Chief Judge Sarah Warner and joined by District Judge Laura Johnson-McNish, who serves the 22nd Judicial District, covering Brown, Doniphan, Marshall, and Nemaha counties.

The event is open to the public and students, offering a rare, up-close look at how the appellate court operates. Following the hearings, attendees can take part in a question-and-answer session, where judges will break down the appeals process and talk about their experiences on the bench.

Each side in the cases will have 15 minutes to present arguments. Written decisions are typically issued within about 60 days.

Judge Warner says the court’s traveling docket helps communities better understand how district and appellate courts work together to deliver fair and efficient justice.
