November 1, 2010
Kansas: Today Governor Mark Parkinson appointed Nancy Caplinger to the Kansas Supreme Court to succeed Robert Davis. Since 2004, she has served as a judge on the Kansas Court of Appeals.[1]
About the appointment, Governor Parkinson said, "...Nancy represents the inspiring possibilities of the American dream. As someone from a small town who put herself through college and law school, she has been able to rise to extraordinary heights and build a respected reputation in the legal circle. She is the type of down-to-earth Kansan we need on the Supreme Court, and I know she will do remarkable work."[1]
Prior to joining the Court of Appeals, Caplinger served as an Assistant United States Attorney in Kansas City, then as an Appellate Coordinator for the U.S. Attorney's Office.[2]
In response to the appointment, Caplinger said,"I am humbled and honored to receive this appointment from Governor Parkinson and join the six other distinguished justices on the Kansas Supreme Court,” said Caplinger. “I have loved serving on the Kansas Court of Appeals, and I look forward to bringing my experience as an attorney and as a judge to Kansas’ highest court.”[1]
