Kansas Supreme Court renews appointment of McCabria as Chief Judge

September 28, 2023 11:21 am


The Kansas Supreme Court has renewed the appointment of The Honorable James R. McCabria as Chief Judge of the Seventh Judicial District. The two-year term runs from Jan. 1, 2024, to Dec. 31, 2025. It will be the third two-year term for McCabria to serve as Chief Judge.

The Kansas Supreme Court appoints one judge in each district to serve as chief judge. A chief judge has, in addition to his or her judicial responsibilities, general control over case assignments within the district and general supervisory authority over the clerical and administrative functions of the court. The Seventh Judicial District is the state District Court for Douglas County.

“On behalf of the Kansas Supreme Court, thank you for your continued service and leadership as Chief Judge,” Kansas Supreme Court Chief Justice Marla Luckert said in a letter to McCabria.
