Gov. Jay Nixon has appointed attorney Cynthia L. Reams Martin to the Missouri Court of Appeals, Western District. She will fill a vacancy left by Joseph Dandurand, who resigned to become deputy attorney general for Attorney General Chris Koster.
A 1981 graduate of William Jewell College, Martin is the principal member of Cynthia Reams Martin P.C., a Lee’s Summit law practice she opened in 2000. Prior to opening her own practice, she was a partner and an associate at several Kansas City area law firms. “Cynthia Martin has demonstrated her legal acumen time and again before both the trial and appellate courts, and she has been publicly and prominently recognized by her peers as being a top lawyer in the Kansas City area,” Nixon said in a press release. “She brings great skills to the bench, and I am confident she will be a most able jurist in serving the people of Missouri on this court.” Martin was recognized as a “Super Lawyer” for Missouri and Kansas in 2006, 2007 and 2008; and as “Best of the Bar” by the Kansas City Business Journal in 2003 and again from 2005 through 2008. Martin graduated as valedictorian of her law school class at the University of Missouri-Kansas City School of Law in 1984. Martin was one of three appointees for this judgeship submitted to Nixon by the Appellate Judicial Commission for the Missouri Court of Appeals, Western District.
