Kansas appellate courts to get new clerk in June

kansas supreme courtTOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — An official from Indiana’s judicial system will be taking over next month as the new clerk for both the Kansas Supreme Court and the Kansas Court of Appeals.

The state’s high court says Heather Smith will start work in Topeka on June 9. She will replace Carol Green, who has been clerk since 1991 and is retiring June 6.

Smith is deputy clerk of the Indiana Supreme Court, Court of Appeals and Tax Court. In that job, she is responsible for the day-to-day operations of the clerk’s office. She also played a key role in planning several technology projects.

In Kansas, she’ll be responsible for planning and overseeing the day-to-day administrative work of the state’s two appellate courts.
