FOULSTON: THE CREATION OF A MINOR'S RIGHT TO PRIVACY AND A NEW PRELIMINARY INJUNCTION STANDARD INTRODUCTION Forty-six percent of teens aged fifteen to nineteen have had sex at least once.' This startling statistic raises the question of how the state, which has an interest in protecting its youth, should deal with underage sex. Some people argue for promoting abstinence, others argue for pro- viding contraceptives; some argue for education in schools, others for parental education. There are a variety of ways to deal with the problem, and some are more controversial than others. Kansas Attorney General Phill Kline found one of the most controversial ways to protect teenagers from the harms of sex, implemented it in an attorney general opinion, and faced the inevitable public critique and lawsuits over his choice of protection.

This report also includes a detailed presentation of the "investigatory and enforcement procedures and polices" of the Division, as directed by K.S.A. 50-628(b). Pursuant to these statutes, the following series of reports highlight both the 2005 Annual . Report and the significant, positive changes in the procedures and policies of the Consumer Protection and Antitrust Division since January, 2003. As I have noted in previous reports on this important Division of the Office of the Attorney General, managerial philosophy is an important foundation to good governance. The philosophy of the Consumer Protection and Antitrust Division is well presented in the reports included in this annual report. The Consumer Protection Division has an important role to play in Kansas commerce. By receiving and reviewing consumer complaints, the Division is best able to identify those businesses and merchants involved in acts that could best be described as polluting the stream of Kansas commerce.

Twenty-five years of legislative initiatives, state court rulings, including one from the Kansas Supreme Court, numerous opinions from the office of attorney general and innumerable courthouse conflicts have failed to clarify this basic governance question. The legislative authority of boards of county commissioners in Kansas remains imprecise and in dispute. Legal ambiguities surrounding the county commission’s authority, compounded by political competition for power from other elected county officers, result in wasted public resources, destructive organizational conflict and diminished public trust in county governments. Personnel Policies and County Commission Authority Defining the Problem In seemingly unequivocal language, state law grants county commissions authority to adopt personnel policies and pay plans for departments managed by sheriffs, clerks, treasurers and registers of deeds.

    Appeal No. 11-106870-S IN THE SUPREME COURT OF KANSAS IN THE MATTER OF : : DA 10088 and DA 10598 : PHILLIP D. KLINE, : : Respondent. : _________________________________________________________ MOTION OF RESPONDENT PHILLIP D. KLINE FOR THE RECUSAL OF JUDGE KAREN ARNOLD-BURGER _________________________________________________________ Respondent Phillip D. Kline, former Attorney General the State of Kansas, hereby moves for the recusal of Judge Karen Arnold-Burger from any further participation in this appeal. Per the Order of Presiding Justice Daniel Biles on June 4, 2012, Judge Arnold-Burger is one of five Kansas judges assigned to hear this appeal in the aftermath of the May 18, 2012 recusal of five sitting justices of this Court. I. Introduction. As editor of The Verdict, the official quarterly publication of the Kansas Municipal Judges Association (“KMJA”), Judge Karen Arnold-Burger was instrumental in publishing numerous false statements regarding Mr. Kline’s investigation of Kansas abortion clinics. These false statements about facts at issue in this proceeding provide a reasonable basis to question Judge Arnold-Burger’s impartiality, thereby requiring recusal. See Kansas Code of Judicial Conduct, Canon 3(E)(1) (1995). Specifically, a synopsis of Comprehensive Health of Planned Parenthood v. Kline, 287 Kan. 372, 433, 197 P.3d 370 (2008) (hereinafter CHPP v. Kline) in the Winter 2009 edition of The Verdict made numerous false assertions supported neither by the CHPP v. Kline opinion itself nor the underlying facts.1 Most of these gratuitous and untrue statements improperly cast Mr. Kline’s conduct in a false negative light and uniformly tended to disparage him before the Kansas judiciary.

  • Virtual Mentor Ethics Journal of the American Medical Association March 2005, Volume 7, Number 3
    Virtual Mentor Ethics Journal of the American Medical Association March 2005, Volume 7, Number 3 Case in Health Law Must Doctors Report Underage Sex as Abuse? by Kate Karas Medicine and politics can be contentious bed fellows. In 2003, the Kansas attorney general issued an opinion embedding physicians with law enforcement [1]. The opinion obligated a physician to report any evidence of underage sexual activity to social services, facing criminal sanctions should he or she fail to do so. The 14-year- old patient who inquired about birth control methods, the physical examination that revealed sexual activity—both occurrences mandated that the doctor breach patient confidentiality and turn the cases over to Kansas Social and Rehabilitative Services. That the activity was consensual and between age mates was immaterial. Physicians have long been included in state child abuse reporting statutes as mandatory reporters of suspected child abuse. All states require that persons named by statute (eg parents, physicians, teachers, etc) who suspect child abuse report the case to the particular social welfare agency charged with protecting children. In every state, it is within the physician's discretion to determine when a harm has occurred, and, thus, when his or her duties under the reporting statute. Kansas Statute § 38-1522 is the local version of the national statute: it names physicians as mandatory reporters of suspected child abuse. Failure to do so is a class B misdemeanor. In addition to the reporting requirement, Kansas Statutory Code imposes criminal penalties on those who engage in sexual intercourse with a minor younger than 14 years of age, regardless of whether the alleged perpetrator is also a minor.

  • 8 My Heart Became Deeply Motivated to Study the Growing Trend Of
    8 CHAPTER 1 PASTORAL ATTRITION AND PERSONAL MOTIVATION My heart became deeply motivated to study the growing trend of pastoral attrition after my church, my family, and I experienced a unique set of trials and a period of adversity that stretched into a five-year roller coaster of difficulties. It was cathartic to embark on this study—as difficult as the subject matter is—in view of my personal experience. Now I invite you to join me. As we study the reasons for pastoral attrition, we will hear, repeatedly, the oft-cited reason for collapse or quitting: “ministry pressure.” This is certainly a source of stress and difficulty, but it is not a credible reason for leaving the ministry. God’s grace is sufficient to carry us through the most difficult of circumstances. he spiritual giants profiled in chapter 6 prove that God’s promises can be counted on regardless of the arduous task of our ministries. My personal experience is another reminder of how the Lord can sustain and even open larger doors of ministry service through what is perceived as the worst disappointments. It is this personal motivation that prompted me to include here the details of my own ministry challenge along with the honest recommendations that spring from what I learned. There is no specific seminary course that covered the tumultuous terrain I found myself in as I labored to build a church for Jesus Christ.Acadia Divinity College’s Doctor of Ministry Handbook clarifies exactly what the D. Min. degree is. In addition to being a professional, advanced, and practical degree, it is also an integrated degree.
