Supreme Court dockets

The Supreme Court sits in Topeka six times a year for one-week periods and convenes occasionally for one-day travel dockets at locations around the state. Shorter special sessions may be scheduled as needed.

When a case does not present a new question of law, and oral argument is deemed neither helpful to the court nor essential to a fair hearing of the appeal, it is placed on the summary calendar. These cases are deemed submitted without oral argument.
