(KAIR)--The 1st Judicial District Nominating Commission will convene by telephone conference Tuesday to discuss the nomination process to fill two district judge positions.
One position was created by Judge Martin Asher's July 8 retirement. The other was among the positions certified by a Supreme Court Administrative Order after the Kansas Legislature passed and the governor signed a bill to fund them.
The 1st Judicial District is composed of Atchison and Leavenworth counties.
A nominee for district judge must be: at least 30 years old; a lawyer admitted to practice in Kansas and engaged in the practice of law for at least five years, whether as a lawyer, judge, or full-time teacher at an accredited law school; and a resident of the judicial district at the time of taking office and while holding office.
The nominating commission seeks nominations and then meets to interview nominees.
The nominating commission will select three to five people whose names will be submitted to the governor to fill the positions. The governor has 60 days after receiving the names to decide whom to appoint.
