Judge Jeffry Jack gets the stamp from Governor Laura Kelly to fill a vacancy on the  Kansas Court of Appeals.  The retirement of Judge Patrick McAnany created the opening.  Judge Jack has been a district judge in Labette County in the Eleventh Judicial District since 2005. The governor says Jack has led a distinguished legal career, as a lawyer, a legislator, and a judge. He is a fifth-generation resident of Labette County and was raised in Altamont. After graduating cum laude from Harvard University in 1983, Jack attended the University of Kansas School of Law. He began his legal career in Parsons with Dearth & Markham, Chartered, and continued in private practice until 2005. 

Judge Jack’s nomination is subject to Senate confirmation and his nomination materials have been forwarded to the Kansas Senate.
