Topeka lawyer Gerald L. Goodell was named Friday as the Kansas Supreme Court's appointee to the Kansas Governmental Ethics Commission by Chief Justice Kay McFarland.

The commission is charged with administering, interpreting and enforcing the Campaign Finance Act and laws relating to conflicts of interest, financial disclosure and the regulation of lobbying.
Goodell serves as "of counsel" to Goodell, Stratton, Edmonds & Palmer, a Topeka law firm that he joined in 1958 after graduating from Washburn University School of Law. He is past president of the Topeka and Kansas bar associations and currently is listed as a leader in the field of real estate law in "Best Lawyers in America."
