Today, Governor Mike Kehoe announced the appointment of Kathleen Hamilton to the Missouri Court of Appeals, Eastern District. The official announcement confirms her selection to serve as a judge on the appellate court, where she will take on responsibilities related to reviewing and ruling on appeals from lower courts within the district.
Hamilton’s appointment comes as a result of the vacancy left by Judge Cristian M. Stevens, who recently transitioned to the federal judiciary. Stevens’s departure created an opening on the appellate bench, which Hamilton will now fill, according to the Governor's office.
As the newest member of the Missouri Court of Appeals, Eastern District, Hamilton will join her colleagues in handling cases that involve a broad range of legal issues. Her appointment ensures the continued operation of the court and the review of appellate matters across the district.
