Book excerpt: While recognizing the importance of requiring licensure and regulation by the state of those who wish to practice law here, and the Kansas Supreme Court's inherent authority to require such licensure and regulation, due to the fact that the activities in question are occurring within a federal enclave and based on the supremacy clause, in our opinion attorneys acting under the authority of the United States army legal assistance program may counsel and assist pro se military clients with the preparation of necessary documents to be filed in Kansas courts in specified civil proceedings without obtaining a license to practice in the state of Kansas.

Book excerpt: The "governor's cabinet" has evolved through custom and tradition loosely patterned after the United States president's cabinet. Each member of the president's cabinet has a constitutional duty to provide opinions as the principal officer of an executive department when required by the president. U.S. const., art. II, section 2. There is a similar provision in the Kansas constitution. As such, cabinet members serve as advisors to the governor. The members of the current governor's cabinet include the secretaries of various state departments who are appointed by the governor subject to the confirmation of the senate and serve at the pleasure of the governor. In our opinion, the legislature may require that the secretary of the board of agriculture serve as a member of the governor's cabinet because as a member of the executive department she is already subject to the governor's request for information regarding her duties.

Book excerpt: The old Rock Island Railroad depot building donated in 1959 to the Eisenhower presidential library commission was library property, and title thereto was acquired in the name of the state. Assuming the governor conveyed the library property of the Eisenhower presidential library commission to the United States as provided by L. 1961, ch. 393, and assuming the federal government accepted such conveyance pursuant to federal statute, title to the building was thereby transferred to the federal government. The storage contract for the depot building executed in 1960 by the commission and Old Abilene Town Company, Inc. expired in 1985. Thereafter, the federal government as the presumed successor title owner had the legal right to take possession of the depot building.

Book excerpt: Because the secrecy of grand jury proceedings is a well-guarded aspect of American criminal procedure, the minutes of a grand jury are to be kept secret pursuant to K.S.A. 22-3012 and, in the absence of a court order, are not to be provided to a state agency desiring to pursue disciplinary action against a licensee. This is true even though the indictments of that grand jury were quashed on the basis of a technical deficiency in the impaneling of the grand jury. Cited herein: K.S.A. 22-3001; 22-3012.

Book excerpt: The policy of unified school district no. 458 establishing classifications for assessing fees for use of school facilities is subject to the rational basis test of the equal protection clause, and will not be set aside if any state of facts reasonably may be conceived to justify it. While in our opinion the policy of unified school district no. 458 does not on its face violate the equal protection clause of the fourteenth amendment to the United States constitution or section 1 of the bill of rights of the Kansas constitution, a violation could occur depending on actual application of the policy. Cited herein: K.S.A. 72-8212; Kan. Const., bill of rights, section 1; U.S. Const., amend. 14, section 1.

Book excerpt: A city may not prohibit the use of its park for political advocacy activities or prohibit the distribution of handbills, pamphlets, posters or any other literature of a political nature as such restrictions violate the first amendment to the United States constitution because the prohibition constitutes a prior restraint on communication without narrow objective and definite standards. Furthermore, the exclusion of all political activity in a city park is a content-based exclusion which requires the city to establish that the exclusion is necessary to serve a compelling governmental interest and is narrowly drawn to achieve that interest. Finally, a city may impose reasonable restrictions on the time, place or manner of protected speech provided the restrictions are justified without reference to their content, are narrowly tailored to serve a significant city interest and leave open ample alternative channels for communication of information. Cited herein: U.S. Const., amend. 1.
