Ex-prosecutor a candidate for appeals court

Former Marion County prosecutor Courtney Boehm of Junction City is among 19 people who have applied to fill a vacancy on the Kansas Court of Appeals.

Boehm was county attorney here from January, 2017, until January, 2019, when she became a district judge in Geary County.

She moved to Hillsboro in 2012 with her husband, Josh, after he joined Brookens Law Office in Marion.

After she passed her bar exam and the couple’s first child was born, the two Boehms opened their own office, Cottonwood Valley Law Group, in 2016. She was elected county attorney later that year.

Candidates for the appeals court position will be interviewed Jan. 28 and 29 in Topeka. A committee of other judges will select three finalists, one of whom will be appointed by the governor to replace retiring judge Henry Green Jr.
