An attorney will not receive carryover credit if an application or affidavit is received after that date. (c) Credit for Teaching. An attorney can earn up to five CLE credit hours for each 50 minutes spent teaching an approved program. The attorney must file an application for approval of teaching credit that outlines program content, teaching methodology, and time spent in preparation and instruction. In determining the number of CLE credit hours to award, the Board will calculate time spent in preparation and teaching. For example, an attorney who spends 150 minutes prepar- ing a program and 50 minutes teaching it will be awarded four credit hours.

All prior editions, while containing some useful suggestions, are obsolete. With clear marching orders from our Supreme Court, all appellate attorneys must enroll and monitor their cases. Paper filing is now relegated to litigants that are unrepresented. Prompted by these massive changes we have consolidated some chapters and subjects and created new sections for electronic filing. But there is more to an appeal than just getting in the door. Scheduling, briefing, and pre- and post-opinion motion practice are dealt with. We sincerely hope that this work will be helpful to all who practice in this important area of the law. It is an attempt to open up the mysteries of electronic filing of appellate cases in Kansas. I must shout from the rooftops my praise for Christy Molzen with the Kansas Judicial Council, who has done all of the heavy lifting in putting this handbook together.

    IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF KANSAS No. 119,315 STATE OF KANSAS, Appellee, v. BRENT J. CARTER, Appellant. SYLLABUS BY THE COURT 1. A jury instruction must be both legally and factually appropriate. An instruction on the defendant's theory of defense is factually appropriate if there is sufficient evidence, when viewed in the light most favorable to the defendant, for a rational fact-finder to find for the defendant on that theory. 2. Under K.S.A. 22-3203, multiple complaints against a defendant can be tried together if the State could have brought the charges in a single complaint under K.S.A. 22-3202(1). 3. K.S.A. 22-3202(1) permits joining multiple charges in a single complaint if the charges: (1) are of the same or similar character; (2) are part of the same act or transaction; or (3) result from two or more acts or transactions connected together or constituting parts of a common scheme or plan. 1 4. For the purposes of K.S.A. 22-3202(1), charges are connected together when: (1) a defendant provides evidence of one crime while committing another; (2) some of the charges are precipitated by the other charges; or (3) all of the charges stem from a common event or goal.
