Book excerpt: The Kansas Open Records Act provides that public agencies may charge reasonable fees for photocopying public records.

Book excerpt: Since it is the client's intent which governs the distinction between privileged and non-privileged communications, a determination of whether or not information exchanged between attorney and client is privileged requires a case-by-case consideration. To ensure compliance with the dictates of Canon 4 of the Code of Professional Responsibility and K.S.A. 60-426, when a supervising agency requests that an attorney release particular client information for enumerative or evaluative purposes, the attorney may either obtain the client's consent to do so, or, if the client refuses, compile the requested data in a less intrusive manner. If, however, the agency requests the data for purposes of determining a client's financial eligibility onto satisfy funding requirements, the exception to the privilege under DR-4-101(C)(4) would apply, making the aforementioned precautions unnecessary. Cited herein: K.S.A. 45-217; 45-221; 60-426; K.S.A. 1986 Supp. 20-3100, Supreme Court Rule No. 225, D.R. 4-101.

Book excerpt: A creditor may not contract for or receive a separate charge for insurance unless the credit insurance provides a benefit which covers a loss to property related to the credit transaction. Household goods cannot be related to the transaction unless a purchase money credit arrangement is involved. Nor may the creditor be named as a loss payee of a policy which covers all of a consumer's household goods, even though that creditor has a security interest in some of the property covered under the policy. The amount of insurance is limited to the lesser of either the amount of debt or the value of the property insured. If a separate charge is received for credit insurance, before the insurance may be written, the consumer must give an informed, affirmative, written request for the policy. In addition, a creditor may not sell credit insurance to a consumer if he has knowledge that an existing policy gives full coverage of the property related to the transaction, and the credit insurance would therefore be pro-rated.

Book excerpt: K.S.A. 20-105 provides that to be qualified to hold the office of justice of the supreme court or judge of the court of appeals, a person must have been regularly admitted to practice law in Kansas and have engaged in the active and continuous practice of law for a period of at least ten years prior to the date of appointment as justice or judge. Though the strict definition of "active practice" would require that the legal activities of the person in question be pursued on a full-time basis and constitute his regular business, the general rule that statutory provisions imposing qualifications for office should be construed in favor of those seeking to hold office would serve to soften this requirement. Thus, a potential nominee need not be a full-time trial attorney to be considered as actively engaged in the practice of law, and is not automatically disqualified merely for holding a position which does not require legal expertise. Cited herein: K.S.A. 20-105; 20-3002; K.S.A. 1986 Supp. 22-3707.

Book excerpt: The intent of L. 1987, ch. 215 is to encourage individuals to serve as volunteers for certain nonprofit organizations by granting to the volunteer immunity from liability for negligent acts or omissions. There are limitations to this immunity. For the act to apply, the organization must carry general liability insurance which will pay on behalf of the insured when an individual suffers loss for which the insured is liable. The exact amount and type of insurance required is to be determined in light of the exposure to liability which arises out of the organization's activities.

A "jail book" which lists persons who are placed in jail and contains information of a general nature is not a criminal investigation record and thus must be open for public inspection. The front page of the standard offense report is also subject to disclosure. Mug shots, however, are criminal investigation records which may be closed to the public.
