The Kansas Bar Association and the Kansas First Amendment Foundation presents the inaugural David J. Waxse Memorial Lecture Series, a Constitutional Law-focused CLE combined with an educational program for K-12 civics teachers. Attorneys are invited to obtain 3 hours of CLE credit June 20, 2023, including two hours of CLE from two leading scholars on U.S. Constitutional law, as well as a one-hour review of the U.S. Supreme Court term from two preeminent legal practitioners.  

Judge Waxse, a longtime magistrate judge in the District of Kansas, passed away in March 2023 at age 77. Judge Waxse was not only a friend of the FBA, but a founding member of the Advisory Board of the Johnson County First Amendment Foundation, which recently created the Kansas First Amendment Foundation. Years before he took the bench, Judge Waxse was one of the lead attorneys for the plaintiffs in the case that led to the creation of the First Amendment Foundation, Case v. U.S.D. 233, which successfully challenged a 1994 book ban by the Olathe School District.
