Chair Terry (lawyer chair) described the commission's makeup (four lawyers and four nonlawyers, one of each from Kansas' four congressional districts), its role of nominating three candidates for the governor to fill a Supreme Court vacancy, and reminded the public that appointed justices face retention elections. He noted the commission received seven applications totaling about 380 pages (an average of 54 pages each) and urged thorough review.
