Friday, February 1, a new career began for the next Kansas Attorney General, Stephen N. Six. Citing his experience as an attorney and district judge, Governor Sebelius has named Judge Stephen Six as Kansas’ new attorney general. The Governor stressed that Judge Six is a “respected legal professional with more than ten years in litigation and trial work.” She described her appointee as “an independent-minded judge who has served the people of Kansas well…and is ready to lead the people’s law firm effectively, responsibly, with character and integrity.”
Article 1, Section 11 of the Constitution provides that where there is a vacancy in the office of the Attorney General, the Governor fills the vacancy by appointment for the duration of the term. Steve Six fills the unexpired term of Paul Morrison whose resignation was effective January 31st, 2008.
I had the honor of attending the swearing in of Attorney General Stephen Six. His father, who previously served on the Kansas Supreme Court, gave him the oath of office. It was also my pleasure to meet Attorney General Six and his family at a reception after he was sworn in.
