Students, Faculty and staff are welcome to attend the investiture but must behave in accordance with the rules of federal court. During the session, Moritz’s daughters will assist with her official robing. Her daughters are Kathleen Landis and Sarah Roe. Roe, and her husband, Ryan Roe, both are current education majors at Washburn.

Mortiz previously served on the Kansas Supreme Court. She is the second Ichabod to be named to the 10^th Circuit Court. The first was Delmas Hill, who earned a law degree in 1929 and was appointed to the court in 1961. The 10^th Circuit is based in Denver and covers Colorado, Kansas, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Utah and Wyoming. Congratulations, Justice Mortiz!
