The Kansas Rural Justice Initiative Committee visited Great Bend and held a public meet-in-greet Thursday evening at Dry Lake Brewing in advance of the committee’s business meeting Friday at the Holiday Inn Express. At the community welcome, residents of Great Bend and the surrounding area were invited to meet committee members, learn about the committee’s work, and share their thoughts, said Lisa Taylor, public information director with the Office of Judicial Administration. “Rural justice. We can’t just sit in Topeka and talk about rural justice,” said Kansas Supreme Court Justice K.J. Wall, who chairs the committee. He and committee members present Thursday night heard stories of counties with a dwindling number of lawyers and a growing need for legal services.
