The Honorable Brent Powell was selected today by Governor Eric Greitens for appointment to the Missouri Supreme Court.  Powell will fill the vacancy created with the passing of Judge Richard Teitelman.

A Springfield native, Powell now resides in Kansas City but remains connected to local bar and the community.  Judge Powell and his wife, U. S. District Judge Beth Phillips, are regular guests at SMBA functions.  Two years ago, Judge Powell was on hand when his father, Bill Powell was named 2015 Distinguished Attorney at the SMBA Law Day Lunch.
