TOPEKA, Kan. — An administrative assistant to the 30th Judicial District has been named to the Kansas Supreme Court Ad Hoc Virtual Court Proceedings Committee to study and recommend best practices for using videoconferencing in Kansas courts.
Marilyn Targos was appointed by the Supreme Court for the special committee. The 30th Judicial District is comprised of Kingman, Pratt, Barber, Sumner and Harper counties.
Beginning March 12, the Supreme Court issued a series of orders in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. To safeguard court users, staff and judicial officers, the court orders limited in-person contact and directed that all hearings should be conducted remotely, if possible.
The Ad Hoc Virtual Court Proceedings Committee will meet for the first time Friday, June 12. Members will examine issues, explore and evaluate possible solutions, and make recommendations for best practices for videoconferencing.
