TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) Kansas Supreme Court Chief Justice Lawton Nuss is preparing to give the annual State of the Judiciary address to a joint session of the Legislature.
The court didn’t disclose the topic of his remarks ahead the speech, scheduled for 5 p.m. Wednesday. But it comes as the Supreme Court is reviewing recommendations from a special commission on the operations of the state’s judicial branch.
The Supreme Court created the 25-member Blue Ribbon Commission a year ago to consider such issues as the number of court offices, their hours of operation, using technology to reduce costs and increasing the court system’s staffing flexibility.
