  • Appellate Practice Handbook
    KANSAS APPELLATE PRACTICE HANDBOOK 6TH EDITION KANSAS JUDICIAL COUNCIL Subscription Information The Kansas Appellate Practice Handbook is updated on a periodic basis with supplements to reflect important changes in both statutory law and case law. Your purchase of this publication automatically records your subscription for the update service. If you do not wish to receive the supplements, you must inform the Judicial Council. You may contact the Judicial Council by e-mail at [email protected], by telephone at (785) 296-2498 or by mail at: Kansas Judicial Council 301 SW 10th, Ste. 140 Topeka, KS 66612 © 2019 KANSAS JUDICIAL COUNCIL ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii PREFACE TO THE SIXTH EDITION This is the first edition of the Handbook since the advent of electronic filing of appellate cases. 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.

  • Appeal No. 11-106870-S in the SUPREME COURT of KANSAS IN
    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.
