Staff Report
Jacy J. Hurst
TOPEKA – Kansas Gov. Laura Kelly on Thursday appointed Jacy J. Hurst, of Lawrence, to fill the vacancy on the Kansas Court of Appeals that was created by the elevation of former Court of Appeals Judge Melissa Standridge to the Kansas Supreme Court.
Hurst is currently a partner with the law firm Kutak Rock LLP in Kansas City, Mo. If confirmed by the Kansas Senate, she would be the first woman of color on the Kansas Court of Appeals.
“Jacy will be a great asset and hardworking judge on the Court of Appeals,” Kelly said in a news release Thursday. “She is a lifelong Kansan who has not only excelled performing high-level work at some of Kansas City’s most competitive law firms, she also has the heart of a public servant.”
