Judges not on the ballot

• Tony Powell (retention election canceled after Powell retired on June 30, 2022)
  

Selection

The fourteen judges on the Kansas Court of Appeals are appointed by the governor with every nomination subject to confirmation by the Kansas State Senate. Newly appointed judges serve for at least one year, after which they must stand for retention in the next even-year general election. If retained, the judge serves a four-year term and must stand for retention every four years after that point to remain in office.

Qualifications

To serve on this court, a judge must:

• have at least 10 years of active and continuous law practice in the state;
• be at least 30 years old; and
• be no older than 75. If a sitting judge turns 75 while on the bench, he or she may serve out the term.

Chief judge

The chief judge for the court of appeals is selected by the supreme court.

Vacancies

If a midterm vacancy occurs on the court, the position is filled as it normally would be had the vacancy occurred at the end of a judge's term. The governor appoints a new judge, who must be confirmed by the Kansas State Senate. He or she then serves at least one year following his or her initial appointment and must stand for retention at the next statewide general election to remain in office.
