60-258. Entry of judgment. Entry of judgments is subject to subsection (b) of K.S.A. 60-254, and amendments thereto. No judgment is effective unless and until a journal entry or judgment form is signed by the judge and filed with the clerk.

When judgment is entered by judgment form, the clerk must serve a copy of the judgment form on all attorneys of record within three days, excluding Saturdays, Sundays and legal holidays. Service may be made as authorized by K.S.A. 60-205, and amendments thereto. Failure of service of a copy of the judgment form does not affect the judgment's validity.
