Supreme Court nominating commission schedules May 21 interviews for seven applicants
Summary
The Kansas Supreme Court Nominating Commission set interviews for May 21 in Topeka for seven applicants to fill a 2026 vacancy, agreed on 30-minute slots and said the public may submit letters to the clerk’s office up to a week before the interviews.
The Kansas Supreme Court Nominating Commission voted to hold in-person interviews on May 21 in Topeka for the seven applicants who applied to fill the current 2026 Supreme Court opening. Chair Terry said the commission will “try to get all of the interviews done and our voting selections done in 1 day,” and commissioners expressed a clear preference for the 21st over the 20th.
The commission discussed interview logistics, including a suggested 30-minute allotment per applicant and random assignment of interview order by the clerk’s office. Chair Terry reminded the public that informational letters may be submitted “up to a week before the interviews” to Michelle Moore or Doug Sheema at the clerk’s office; those materials will be placed in a confidential OneDrive for commissioners to review. The chair noted the commission received seven applications totaling about 380 pages of application and writing samples, an average of roughly 54 pages per applicant.
