25 years ago: Kansas Supreme Court rules on license suspension for uninsured drivers

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for Feb. 22, 1986:

  • The state Supreme Court had recently reversed a district court ruling by upholding the constitutionality of the suspension of a person’s license if the person were found driving an uninsured vehicle. A majority of the court ruled that a person does not have to be found at fault in an accident before the license could be suspended.
  • Frederick J. Moreau, former dean of the Kansas University Law School, had died at 92. Moreau had joined the KU law school faculty in 1929 and served as dean from 1937 to 1957. It had been during his tenure that degrees became a requirement for admission to the law school. Kansas was only one of three states at the time with such a requirement. Moreau had also established the Kansas Law Review in 1952.
