District Judge Eric Godderz of the 4th judicial district has been appointed to sit with the Kansas Supreme Court to hear one case on the court’s Tuesday docket. After hearing oral arguments, he will join supreme court justices in their deliberations and decision drafting. Goddderz says he considers this a great opportunity to learn about the appellate process from a judicial perspective.
Since 2007, Godderz has been a judge in the 4th judicial district, which is composed of Franklin, Anderson, Osage, and Coffey counties. He hears all civil matters in the 4th district as well as domestic, criminal, and probate cases in Anderson county. He received a bachelors degree from the university of Kansas in 1086 and graduated from Washburn University School of Law in 1989. He was county attorney for Osage county for two terms.
