Lack of attorneys a crisis for Kansas court system
TOPEKA (KSNT) - A committee formed to study the trend of fewer attorneys working and living in Kansas found the problem has become a "crisis".
The Kansas Rural Justice Initiative Committee was formed to study the legal needs of Kansans in rural communities. The committee said the attorney-to-resident ratio is two or less per 1,000 residents. According to the American Bar Association, the national average is 3.9 attorneys for every 1,000 residents.
The report found two Kansas counties didn't have any attorneys at all.
