D. District Courts District courts are the trial courts of Kansas, having general original jurisdiction over all civil and criminal cases. The district court also has appellate jurisdiction from municipal courts and some administrative agencies. There are tvvo types of judges of the district court: District Judges who exercise the full power and authority of the court and District Magistrate Judges whose jurisdiction is limited. District Judges must be lawyers. District Magistrate Judges may or may not be lawyers. Each judicial district has a chief judge who is appointed by members of the Supreme Court. Judges of the district court are subject to assignment to sit in any court within the judicial district by the chief judge and in other districts by the departmental justice. A district court may have specialized divisions or departments with approval of the Supreme Court. The district court may, with approval of the Supreme Court, hold court other than in the county courthouse, if suitable facilities are available. District Judges and District Magistrate Judges in 17 judicial districts are appointed to office through a merit selection process and are subject to a retention vote by the public every four years. Judges in 14 judicial districts run for office in a political party election process. Tn nonpartisan selection districts, vacancies for District Judges are filled by the Governor's appointment of a judge from the recommendations of that district's District Judicial Nominating Commission. Vacancies for a District Magistrate Judge position are filled by the District Judicial Nominating Commission itself in nonpartisan districts. Some districts have official court reporters assigned to individual judges. Others have reporters designated as Rovers. Recording devices are used in some district courts. In districts that have only one official reporter, the reporter works for all judges in the district at times, especially where no recording device is installed in the district court. There is a Clerk of the District Court appointed by the Chief Judge of a district in each county in the State of Kansas. All districts have a Court Administrator or Chief Clerk.
