Chief Justice Recuses Self in Judicial Selection Fight
Kansas Chief Justice Lawton Nuss will recuse himself from hearing a case over the Supreme Court authority to supervise lower courts, while six other justices decline. Judge Larry Solomon of Kingman County filed the suit challenging a 2014 law shifting chief judge selection from the Supreme Court to district judges’ election. Arguments are set for Thursday as the court reviews the issue.
