Book excerpt: The Kansas Supreme Court has the inherent power to prescribe conditions for admission to the bar and to regulate and control the practice of law. While there are statutes that relate to the practice of law, such statutes are effective only when in accord with the inherent power of the judiciary. Both K.S.A. 44-536(a) and rule 1.5(d) of the Kansas model rules of professional conduct adopted by Supreme Court rule 226 deal with how attorney fees in contingent fee cases are calculated. Because both the court's rule and the statute are intended to achieve the same goal, the legislation does not have a deleterious impact on the court's function. For this reason, K.S.A. 44-536(a) does not amount to a usurpation of power in contravention of the separation of powers doctrine and therefore is a statutory enactment which the court would sanction as in accord with the court's inherent power to regulate and control the practice of law.

Book excerpt: K.S.A. 14-1302, which prohibits under certain conditions a city commission from appointing one of its former members to a city office, is subject to charter ordinance because it does not apply uniformly to all cities. However, the common law may still preclude a city commission from appointing one of its members to the office of city manager even if the member resigns his commission position unless the charter ordinance contains specific provisions that have the effect of abrogating the common law prohibition.

Book excerpt: The Takings Clause of the Fifth Amendment to the United States Constitution prohibits the government from taking private property for public use without just compensation. A moratorium on new water pollution control permits for new confined feeding facilities would not effect a compensable taking pursuant to the per se category of invasive takings which are those governmental regulations that compel the property owner to suffer a physical invasion of his property. Nor does it appear that a moratorium on new water pollution control permits for new confined feeding facilities would constitute a compensable taking pursuant to the per se category of economic takings which are those governmental regulations that ban all economically beneficial uses of land. Whether such a moratorium would result in a compensable taking for failure to substantially advance a legitimate state interest depends on (1) the nature of the governmental action, (2) the severity of the economic impact on the affected property owner and (3) the degree of interference with the affected property owner's reasonable investment-backed expectations.

Book excerpt: The pursuit of a "common calling," the right to practice one's chosen profession, is a fundamental privilege protected by of Article IV, Section 2 of the United States Constitution, commonly referred to as the Privileges and Immunities Clause. The ability to engage in business as a pawnbroker or precious metal dealer is as much a "common calling" as any other occupation or profession and is thus a protected privilege under the Clause. In the absence of any known substantial rationale to justify Kansas residency for persons who wish to engage in business as a pawnbroker or precious metal dealer, the Kansas statutory provisions which establish such a requirement are found to violate Article IV, Section 2 of the United States Constitution. Cited herein: K.S.A. 16-708. U.S. Const., Art. 4, section 8.

Book excerpt: Unified school districts are required by subsection (b) of K.S.A. 1997 Supp. 72-89b03, as amended by L. 1998, Ch. 171, section 4, to adopt a policy establishing a procedure for reporting to the police, county attorney, Attorney General, Kansas Highway Patrol, or other similar law enforcement agency, as appropriate, acts which have been committed at school, on school property, or at a school supervised activity when the acts involve conduct which constitutes the commission of a felony or misdemeanor or the possession, use, or disposal of explosives, firearms, or other weapons. A unified school district may adopt a policy whereby all reports of incidents are made to an employee designated by the board of education of a unified school district. The designated employee may then review the reports. If it is determined that the incident involved conduct which constitutes the commission of a felony or a misdemeanor, or which involves the possession, use or disposal of explosives, firearms, or other weapons, the law requires the designated employee to forward the report to the appropriate law enforcement agency. A school policy providing for the reporting of an incident to a school resource officer who is employed by the police department or other law enforcement agency as a law enforcement officer may fulfill the requirements of K.S.A. 1997 Supp. 72-89b03 if such manner of reporting is acceptable to the law enforcement agency.
