State v. Roatgreen
kan · 2020 · cited in 4 Kansas opinions naming this issue, 2021–2024
2 sentences

2024Although mootness is a prudential doctrine which allows exceptions, State v. Roat, 311 Kan. 581 , 590, 466 P.3d 439 (2020), Ridley argues no exception.

2021See State v. Roat, 311 Kan. 581 , 590, 466 P.3d 439 (2020) ("Both the history of the mootness doctrine in Kansas, with the law developing on a prudential basis independent of federal analysis, and the problem of exceptions to the jurisdictional basis that inheres in the federal constitutional reasoning, lead us to conclude that the better approach is to consider mootness a prudential doctrine.").
