This week's word of the week is en banc. The Kansas Court of Appeals hears arguments sitting in panels of three judges. However, on rare occasions, all 14 judges may sit together to hear a case. When that occurs, it’s called sitting en banc. #KSCourts
en banc. adjective, adverb. French for "on the bench" or "as a full bench." The term refers to a special procedure where all judges of a particular court hear a case.

It's Throwback Thursday! Graduation season is over, so we're throwing it back to when a few of our own were in cap and gown. An admin assistant, an outreach coordinator, and a Court of Appeals judge...can you guess who's who? #TBT #KSCourts #ThrowbackThursday
Can you guess who these grads are? Three photos of graduates from 1989 to 2006.
