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 various substantive and procedural codes used by the judicial branch to identify problem areas or areas of potential improvement and to take appropriate action. An objective to meet this goal is to establish advisory committees to review specific areas and make recommendations for needed improvement to the Judicial Council. Upon approving those recommendations, the Judicial Council reviews them, makes appropriate changes and forwards them to the Supreme Court or to the Legislature for consideration and approval.
