: The GavelAppeals Judge Elevated to KS High Court
By Peter Hardin
Kansas Court of Appeals Judge Nancy Moritz Caplinger will be elevated to the state Supreme Court, as a result of an appointment by Gov. Mark Parkinson.
Judge Caplinger also has served as an assistant U.S. attorney; was a civil litigator; and represented the federal government in nonlitigation matters, according to an Associated Press article.
She will join two other women justices on the state’s seven-member high court. President Ernestine Krehbiel of the Kansas League of Women Voters, a Justice at Stake partner group, said in a statement, “This appointment of this knowledgeable and proven judge moves this court to better mirror the state’s population. Courts should reflect the people they serve.”
