Book excerpt: In counties that have hired a county counselor pursuant to K.S.A. 19-247, matters which are deemed to be criminal or quasi-criminal in nature, such as juvenile offender proceedings, are the responsibility of the county attorney; matters which are deemed to be civil in nature, such as child in need of care, forfeiture, determination of habitual traffic offenders, mental illness, alcoholism or intoxication, and habeus corpus matters, are the responsibility of the county counselor. However, due to the fact that the county counselor is usually appointed with the idea that the individual will only advise the board of county commissioners and handle contract issues, and that issues requiring trial work shall be the duty of the county attorney, it is reasonable that some counties which have a county attorney and a county counselor may wish to enter into a contract wherein the county attorney would handle all duties except advising the board of county commissioners and contractual matters.
