Mission Statement
The Judicial Council works to improve the administration of justice
in Kansas by continuously studying the judicial system and related areas
of law, by recommending changes when they are appropriate, and by preparing
publications which further this mission.
Goals and Objectives
The goal of the agency is to review the judicial branch of government
and the various substantive and procedural codes used by the courts
to identify problem areas or areas of potential improvement and to take
appropriate action. To meet this goal, the Judicial Council establishes advisory
committees to review specific areas and to make recommendations for needed
improvement to the Judicial Council. The Judicial Council then reviews the recommendations, makes appropriate changes, and forwards
the recommendations to the Supreme Court or to the Legislature for consideration and
approval.
