Brownback taps Stegall for Kansas Court of Appeals
Governor Sam Brownback appointed Caleb Stegall, his chief counsel, to the Kansas Court of Appeals pending Senate confirmation. Stegall, 41, has led the Brownback legal office since 2011 and previously served Jefferson County Attorney, ran his own firm, and represented former Attorney General Phill Kline. Democrats cried cronyism as Brownback moves under a new selection law that bypassed the old nominating commission path.
