James Fleetwood will become the new chief judge for Sedgwick County District Court, the Kansas Supreme Court announced this morning.
Judge Fleetwood
Fleetwood will oversee the administration and other activities in the courthouse. He takes over for Michael Corrigan, who is retiring in January. Fleetwood will fill out the final year of Corrigan’s appointment, then be eligible for reappointment to two-year terms.
“I hear it’s even more stressful,” Fleetwood said from his office this morning. “There’s just so many employee issues and making sure everything runs smoothly.”
Fleetwood was elected to the Sedgwick County bench in 1997, after serving two years in general private practice. He began his career in the environmental law section of Koch Industries Inc. He’s a 1989 graduate of Washburn University School of Law.
For the past year, Fleetwood has served as the presiding judge of the civil courts.

This is a joke – Judge Fleetwood had no juridiction and made a ruling anyway – the case was in Juvenile Court. How can this man be an administrative judge when he doesn’t even know the law? Of course he will be the administrative judge over the so-called judges that don’t know the laws either – he’ll fit right in. With him in charge – no one will have to follow the law – after all – how will he know different? It’s all about who has the money – that’s the way the ruling goes – whether legal or not. He’s part of the corruption in the courthouse.
yeah this is a joke. He is currently working a case right now of which I will not divulge any confidential information, but he is allowing a sex offender to have shared custody of a baby girl. Tell me that isn’t sick.
Fleetwood is not governed by Federal or State law. He takes his marching orders from out west. This guy has real issues. He is dangerous and out of touch with the law and life.
Count yourself lucky Fleetwood,your crooked decisions will be reviewed by a much higher court and falsely sworn oaths and suborning perjury will not prevail on that day!
