Kansas Supreme Court to hear cases in Garden City in October

? The Kansas Supreme Court is taking its show on the road in October with a special evening session in southwest Kansas.

Court officials announced Tuesday the justices will convene Oct. 13 at Garden City High School. It will be the court’s first-ever visit to that community.

It will be the second time the court has heard cases in the evening. The first evening session was in April in Hays when nearly 700 people showed up.

The session in Garden City will run from 6:30 p.m. to 8 p.m., after which the justices will meet with the public in an informal reception at the school.

The court convened outside its Topeka Courtroom for the first time in 2011 as a way to educate Kansans on the court.
