(KAIR)--Four Atchison attorneys are among a group of ten selected as nominees to fill two local, open district judge positions.
The First Judicial District Nominating Commission met Monday to review the complete applications of those seeking the judicial seats.
One of the two openings in the First Judicial District, comprised of Atchison and Leavenworth Counties, is due to the July retirement of longtime Judge Martin Asher, of Atchison.
Named as nominees for the positions are the four Atchison attorneys, John Fresh John Kurth, Allen Ternent, and Andrew Werring, while the remaining six are from areas including Tonganoxie, Bonner Springs, Olathe, and Kansas City, Kansas.
The nominating commission will convene to interview nominees Monday morning, with interviews starting at 8:30. The interviews will be conducted in courtroom 2 of the Leavenworth Justice Center, located at 601 South 3rd Street, in Leavenworth.
The nominating commission will select three to five of the nominees whose names will be submitted to the governor to fill the positions according to statutory qualification and residency requirements.
The governor has 60 days after receiving the names to decide whom to appoint.
