She was the Chief Public Defender from 1997-2004 when she was appointed to the position of District Magistrate Judge for the 8th Judicial District sitting in Junction City. Governor Sebelius appointed her as a District Court Judge for the 8th Judicial District in January of 2007. Judge Segarra was the first woman to ever sit as a District Court Judge in the 8th Judicial District and was the first Latina ever named as a District Court Judge in the State of Kansas. Judge Segarra sat on several committees including the Supreme Court Judicial Education Advisory Committee, the Joint Bench and Bar Conference Planning Committee, and served on the Board of National Association of Women Judges. She was also appointed by the Kansas Supreme Court to the Kansas Judicial Council where she served from 2011- 2019 and chaired various committees formed by the Council. Judge Segarra is a recipient of the Governor’s 2008 Martin Luther King, Jr. Leadership Award, she was named a 2010 Alumni Fellow for the Kansas State University’s College of Arts and Sciences, and in 2012 was awarded the Kansas District Judges Association Community Outreach and Education Award.
