Big congratulations to Jackie Hanzok on passing the Kansas bar exam this week! Jackie is hitting the ground running, coming off a stint at the Washburn Law Clinic, where she focused on criminal cases. She’s been working at the Northeast Kansas Conflicts Office while she awaited her bar results, and will continue on there as a now-official public defender. Welcome Jackie!
