Jayaram Appointed to Kansas Supreme Court | Lawrence News
Description
Kansas Supreme Court gets a new voice as Governor Laura Kelly taps Judge Chris Jayaram, a former private practice lawyer, to fill the seat vacated by Chief Justice Marla Luckert. Jayaram, chosen from three finalists, now faces scrutiny over his abortion clinic case and criticism from groups like Kansas Family Voice who question his judicial impartiality. His appointment arrives amid a looming August vote to overhaul how justices are selected — shifting from merit-based appointments to statewide elections. Jayaram vows to uphold the law fairly as Kansas watches closely for his impact on the state’s highest court.
