Blue Ribbon Commission (BRC) coming to Wichita.
Local residents will have an opportunity to voice concerns and offer suggestions on how to improve the state’s court systems during two public meetings next week in Wichita.
A panel from the Blue Ribbon Commission (BRC), which was appointed by the Kansas Supreme Court to review the state’s court systems, will listen to public comments during the meetings at 3 and 7 p.m., Thursday, May 26, 2011 at Century II, in Room 101, in Wichita.
The BRC will examine ways to assure proper access to justice, the number of court locations, services provided in each location, hours of operation, the use of technology, possible cost reductions, and flexibility in the use of court personnel and other resources, and any other topic that may lead to the more efficient operation of our courts.
In particular, the commission members want to know:
1. Are there things the courts do locally that could be performed regionally or at one central statewide location to improve their efficiency?
2. How could the courts use technology to make their operations more cost-effective or improve access to the courts?
3. How can the courts become more flexible in the use of people and facilities as workloads and funding fluctuate?
4. What other ideas, issues, or concerns do you want the BRC to consider?
If you wish to attend the BRC meetings, you are requested to send your RSVP to the following e-mail address: KSCourtStudyBRC@kscourts.org If you would like to provide your suggestions to the BRC in writing in advance of the meeting or in place of making an oral presentation at the meeting, you can do so by sending your suggestions to the same e-mail address.
