This year the Kansas Legislature is again consideringproposals to amend the Kansas Constitution to changethe method for selecting Justices of the Kansas SupremeCourt. As I write this column two proposals have beenapproved by a Senate committee and are awaitingdebate and vote by the full Senate. If one of theseproposals gets a 2/3 majority in both chambers, thenthe proposed amendment would be on the primaryelection ballot in August where a majority approval ofvoters would be enough to amend the Constitution. Since the 1950s, the Kansas Constitution has provideda system for merit selection of our Supreme CourtJustices. Under this system, the Governor makes anappointment from among three finalists selected by theSupreme Court Nominating Commission. TheNominating Commission is made up of one lawyer andone non-lawyer from each of our CongressionalDistricts, and another lawyer chairs the Commission.The non-lawyer members are appointed by theGovernor. The lawyer members are elected by thelawyers in their respective Congressional Districts on anon-partisan basis, and the Chair is elected by lawyersfrom across the state. One of the proposals to changethat system, SCR 1621, would give Kansas the "federalmodel" for selecting Justices, where the Governor makesan appointment that must then be confirmed by theSenate. SCR 1622 would provide for direct partisanelection of Supreme Court Justices. Similar proposals have been considered in priorLegislative Sessions over the past 15 to 20 years. Eachtime, the WBA’s Board of Governors has consideredwhether to take a position on the issue and has decidedto support the current merit selection system. TheWBA’s Legislative Committee requested that the Boardof Governors again take a position in support of themerit selection system on behalf of the WBA. The Boardof Governors considered that request and decided tocontinue the WBA’s longstanding support of the meritselection system. A short position statement, with anexplanation of the primary reasons the WBA supportsmerit selection, was sent to the Senators in the South-Central delegation as a resource for them to use as theydecide their own position on the issue. You can find thisposition statement at this link. A blast email aboutthat was sent to all WBA members which alsoencouraged members to contact theirSenator/Representative with their individual views onthis issue. The Board of Governor’s decision to take a positionon this issue on behalf of the WBA was made aftersubstantial discussion of the issue. But there wereactually two issues the Board needed to consider. Onewas the issue of which of these selection systemswould be best for Kansas. The other issue waswhether the WBA should take a position on the issue.The easiest of those issues for the Board was the firstone, as Board members strongly preferred our currentmerit selection system over the two proposals. Thesecond issue was the more challenging one—whetherthe WBA should take a position on this issue at all. The WBA is an association of around 1,000 members.Our members have diverse political and social views.So, it is rare for the WBA to take a position on politicaland social issues as they arise. Instead, we want tofocus our efforts on the things that are at the heart ofour purposes as an association of local lawyers. Ourpurposes boil down to three things. First, to provideopportunities for local lawyers to get to know eachother in a personal way, and to network about ourindividual practices. Second, to help us be the bestlawyers and law firms we can be. And third, to helpour local legal system be the best it can be. The Board decided the proposals to end our meritselection system in favor of other systems go to theheart of that third purpose of the WBA. The KansasSupreme Court controls much of our local legal systemhere in Sedgwick County through its Rules andthrough its decisions on substantive legal issues thatour local judges are to follow. So, if there is awidespread view among our members that a particularselection system would help our local legal system bethe best it can be, it would fit the purpose of the WBAto take a position in support of that system. The Boardbelieves there is a widespread view among WBAmembers in support of our current merit selectionsystem.F R O M T H E P R E S I D E N TM o n t e V i n e sWhy the WBA Supports Merit Selection ofKansas Supreme Court JusticesBAR-O-METER LITE - APRIL 2022PAGE 2

Board of GovernorsPresident-ElectVice PresidentSecretary-TreasurerWichita Bar Association 2022-2023 Election Results The Board believes the current merit selection systemis better than the federal model and direct partisanelection for three primary reasons. First, every step ofour merit selection process is open and transparent.But with the federal model the Governor can select aperson without any public insight into who wasconsidered, what standards were used, etc. Second,deciding appeals is difficult and technical legal work.Lawyers are in an excellent position to assess what theapplicants would bring to the court to help it do itsimportant work. The current system gives substantialinput to Kansas lawyers. Third, the legitimacy of ourlegal system depends on our Supreme Court being seenby all Kansans as an institution they can look to for afair and just resolution of our legal disputes andconstruction of our law. Unlike our Legislators andGovernor, our Supreme Court does not represent anypolitical constituency. Instead, it represents the law. There is no perfect system for selecting our SupremeCourt Justices. But the Board believes that the currentmerit selection system should remain in ourConstitution, and that there is widespread support forthat position among our members. It allows for acertain amount of political influence—because theGovernor appoints four members of the NominatingCommission and then selects the new Justice fromamong the three finalists. But the Supreme CourtNominating Commission is there to place a well-informed and less partisan guardrail on the selectionprocess by providing the Governor with three choices,any of which would serve the Court well. As with all the Board’s decisions, your feedback iswelcome—to any of our Board members or, on thisissue, to the members of our Legislative Committee.Jacqueline Kelly Jessica LeavittRichard SamaniegoScott HillSylvia PennerBach HangThe Wichita Bar Association held its 2022-2023candidate election on March 8th.

A native Kansan, the Honorable Sarah E. Warner grewup in Pittsburg, Kansas. After earning fourundergraduate degrees from the University of Kansas,Judge Warner attended Ave Maria Law School inMichigan, where she graduated magna cum laude.Following graduation, Judge Warner served as the solechambers attorney of the chief justice of the KansasSupreme Court. Thereafter, she entered private practicein Lawrence, where she worked until her appointmentto the Court of Appeals. Judge Warner has also beenteaching as an adjunct professor at Washburn LawSchool since 2009. During the panel discussion, Judge Fellows Cline, JudgeHurst, and Judge Warner touched on a variety of topicsimpacting the Court of Appeals. The Judges explainedwhat considerations and philosophies each has whendeciding a case. Additionally, the Judges offered tips andsuggestions for improving appellate counsel’sperformance at the Court of Appeals. Furthermore, theJudges explained what trial counsel should remember toensure a more effective appeal (essentially, make therecord clear and include all findings of fact). The Judgesalso discussed what has surprised them from being onthe other side of the bench, which included thecongeniality of the decision-making process amongstthe various judges despite differing viewpoints.Significantly, the Judges discussed the benefits of havingjudges serving on the Court of Appeals who bringdifferent backgrounds and perspectives to the panel.Finally, the Judges discussed the plan to return to in-person oral arguments, which hopefully will be soon.March Luncheon Recap...By: Megan Townsley On March 8, 2022, the WBA hosted its monthly luncheon. In celebration of Women’s History Month, the Honorable Kellie E. Hogan moderated a panel of three Court of Appeals judges, which included the Honorable Amy Fellows Cline, the Honorable Jacy Hurst, and the Honorable Sarah Warner. The Honorable Amy Fellows Cline joined the Court of Appeals after more than 20-years of being a litigator wherein she handled a variety of cases, from civil matters to criminal matters to administrative law matters. She represented clients in trial courts throughout the state of Kansas in addition to in appellate courts, the Kansas Corporate Commission, Kansas Department of Labor, Kansas Human Rights Commission, and the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. Judge Cline has been an active WBA member throughout her career. Before joining the Court of Appeals, the Honorable Jacy Hurst was in private practice in the Kansas City area. Her practice was general business litigation where she represented clients in both federal and state courts in a variety of different areas. Nonetheless, Judge Hurst specialized in healthcare regulatory and employment law leading her to become general counsel and chief compliance officer for a system of healthcare clinics providing care to underserved patients. Judge Hurst graduated from the University of Kansas and received her law degree from the University of Kansas School of Law. Judge Hurst also teaches as an adjunct professor at Washburn University School of Law.BAR-O-METER LITE - APRIL 2022PAGE 4

With the passing of Roger Hughey our Bar Associationlost one of its greatest friends. Roger loved the WBA andworked in almost every position including serving asPresident (1995-96). Roger started practice with the District Attorney beforejoining the firm of Smith, Shay, Farmer and Wetta. Hespun off a new firm with Jack Focht and Ed Hund, laterjoined by Dave Calvert and Laura Shaneyfelt. I was luckyenough to join that firm, which I remember now in a sortof magic haze. I did not know Roger before I joined thefirm, but he quickly became a great mentor and an evenbetter friend. When the firm closed its doors my loyalfriend arranged for the wonderful lawyers at Adams,Jones, Robinson and Malone to take us both. Roger was dedicated to his family, wife Nancy,daughter Amy, and daughter and granddaughterRebecca and Eleanor, and to his church and his manyfriends. He was a Wichita native and, it seemed to me,knew everyone in town. Everyone he met was a friendbecause you could not meet or work with Roger withoutbecoming one. He valued and nurtured integrity andrespected lawyers who did the same. He made everyconversation about you, an uncommon characteristic fora lawyer. In 2010 when Roger received the coveted Howard C.Kline award I was privileged to speak. Observing that theaward featured a clock, I noted that Roger’s service tothe Bar was about the extra time Roger spent withclients carefully explaining the details of their estateplan or business transaction; donated to every juniorlawyer (including me) to teach, encourage, and inspire;and invested to set the example of how a lawyer shouldmake a life, not just a practice. Roger’s talent for detail was unmatched. Countlessclients benefitted from his meticulous crafting of estateplans and complex business agreements. Although hewas not a litigator, Jack Focht will tell you Roger’sorganization skills made him the best second chair Jackever had in trial (an accolade I understand and do notresent). But Roger was no “dull boy.” He loved travel,books, music, food, wine, parties, and anything he andNancy could do together. When Roger was WBA President, I do not think hemissed a beat at work. He was managing partner and, ina firm where everyone else was a litigator, the firm’s andour clients’ indispensable expert on almost everythingelse. Yet, that year he found time to support andencourage an associate who was distracted withproducing an original musical when he likely shouldhave been practicing law. But Roger cared about ourlives, not just our work. A testament to Roger’s zest for organization, I recallthat when he became WBA President, he wrote all twelvePresident’s columns before the first one was due. Thosearticles included a courageous essay on mental healthwhich, with their consent, discussed mental healthchallenges in his own family. This was in 1996 when thedangers of mental illness in attorneys was just beingrecognized. His January column bemoaned law firmtrends away from giving financial credit to lawyers’ probono work, bar work, mentoring and civic visibility.Observing the sharp tone of American political discourse(in 1996!), he enlisted the help of attorneys. “Lawyerscan bring to the racing engine of public conversation thelubricant of reason, calmness, giving others a hearing,the patience to listen, question and listen more, andseeing the essential good in all people, even in ouradversaries.” More than a quarter of a century laterthese observations seem prophetic. Here are a few more wonderful quotes from thosecolumns. If “we take care of our Bar Association, it willtake care of us.” Remember that the senior lawyer “downthe hall is one who has helped give us the good lawpractice environment we enjoy.” “The rules under which[lawyers] operate require a higher standard of integritythan that of any other profession.” “For the curiousperson, law practice can be like being a kid in a candystore. Enjoy!” And he did enjoy it all. I shall miss him. Ken GaleBy: Honorable Kenneth G. GaleFarewell, Roger HugheyBAR-O-METER LITE - APRIL 2022PAGE 5

1.The Child Advocacy Center brings together public, private, and community partners to serve abused children and theircaregivers. The CACSC employs advocates to walk families through the investigation and court process. The CACSC also employstherapists who provide services to the victims and their family. There is an Education Manager who leads trainings and doespresentations within the community on child abuse prevention. In addition to the CACSC employees, the building also housesthe Exploited and Missing Children’s Unit (EMCU) and the Internet Crimes Against Children Unit (ICAC). These units arecomprised of officers from the Sheriff Department, the Police Department, and DCF social workers. Medical community partnersand the District Attorney’s Office also have offices at the building. 1. What is the Child Advocacy Center of Sedgwick County? 2. What is your role in the organization?I am President of the Board of Directors and sit on the Executive Committee.3. Why and how did you get involved with the Child Advocacy Center? My wife, through her employment, has worked for and with the CACSC. I attended the CAC Hero’s Gala with her and wasimpressed with the work the agency does and how the agency betters our community. It is important to have one centrallocation for victims of child abuse to visit, as opposed to having to travel to multiple locations and agencies to tell their story ofabuse over and over. Being an attorney, I can see how having the investigating agencies, the social workers, and all communitypartners in the same building, where they can easily communicate and meet regularly concerning cases, assists withprosecution. The CACSC renovated and moved into their own location (the old Lincoln Elementary School Building) in 2016 andhas added staff and continued to grow in the past six years. It is an exciting time to be involved with this agency! 4. Where can people go to learn more? The website is cacsckansas.org. The annual Change a Child’s Life Golf Tournament will be held on May 2, 2022 at Terradyne.Gather a team of four or play as an individual! The Child Advocacy’s largest fundraiser is the Heroes Gala, which will be held onNovember 4, 2022. Come to that event to learn more about the CACSC and to be inspired by the heroes in our own community.Schedule a time to tour the CACSC facility. Contact me (Dallas Rakestraw) with any questions or additional information you wishto receive.5. How can other lawyers help? Schedule the Education Manager to give a presentation on child abuse prevention to your church, civic organization, or bookclub. Donate monetary funds to assist the CACSC in promoting the safety, health, and emotional wellbeing of abused children.Donate new toys (which are given to children after they are interviewed by investigators), donate backpacks, or individualsnacks. Support the golf tournament or the Hero's Gala. April is National Child Abuse Prevention month, wear blue and promotechild abuse and neglect prevention awareness strategies.
