courts

The U.S. Supreme Court recently upheld three Kansas death penalty cases, which will raise costs to the state.

The audit was conducted after concerns that were identified in a federal report on the events in Ferguson, Missouri.

It's sometimes difficult to find attorneys in some areas willing to work on defense cases for the amount the state agency can pay.

A budget bill ties funding for the Kansas courts to a policy change regarding how chief judges are selected in judicial districts. If the policy change is overturned, the court funding goes down with it.
