Elkhart, KS. Muni. Judge Forbes. Order of Cert'n. Short Term?
@MassGuy Thx for link to X w pic of former muni-judge.
Any one else notice the framed item on counter, verifying muni. judge training, w recommendation by "Municipal Court Judges Education Committee" * that SupCt of KS certify Forbes as muni judge?
Looks like training date or committee's recco date was Jan 29, 2024 & Chief Justice's siggy date was Feb 9, 2024.
This Cert'n does not refer to continuing ed of Forbes, prompting me to think the Cert. was his INITIAL traning.
Had he been in office there previously?
If not, seems his resignation cut the TERM SHORT.
