Kansas courts to change domains in effort to be more transparent
TOPEKA, Kan. (KCTV) – In an effort to be more transparent, the Kansas court system is changing its domain from .org to .gov this summer.
On July 1, the domain will change to .gov on the judicial branch website, the online attorney registration portal, and an online attorney directory.
Email addresses for the court system’s 290 justices and judges and roughly 1,700 employees will also change in late July.
Chief Justice Marla Luckert said changing things from .org to .gov will clearly communicate to anyone who uses the services they are communicating with a government entity.
“We researched the benefits of making this change last summer, but we were working on other time-sensitive projects at that time,” Luckert said. “The Legislature’s action this spring to make it a requirement emphasized that now is the best time to make this change.”
The Kansas Judicial Branch said moving to a .gov domain also requires them to follow certain rules which contribute to a more secure environment for all government.
