Upon graduation he practiced law with the firm Morris, Laing, Evans, Brock & Kennedy for 28 years. Governor Kathleen Sebelius appointed him to the Court of Appeals in June of 2003. Greene was appointed Chief Judge by the Supreme Court effective January 10, 2011.
Judge Greene attended Appellate Judge School in the summer of 2004 at New York University. He has often been appointed to sit with the Kansas Supreme Court, and in that capacity he has authored three published opinions for that court, In re Tax Appeal of Weisberger, 285 Kan. 98 (2007), State v. Alderete, 285 Kan. 359 (2007), and In re Trust D of Darby, 290 Kan. 785.

He is currently a member of the national Council of Chief Judges of State Courts of Appeal, and serves as national chairman of its membership committee and on its executive committee.
As Chief of the Court, Judge Greene has implemented a host of initiatives to make the court more tech savvy, more efficient, and more responsive to its legislative mandate to take the court to the people of Kansas. Under his leadership, the court has convened panels in all 31 judicial districts, has achieved the filing of nearly 96% of its opinions within 60 days of hearing, and has enhanced its public and educational outreach to civic clubs, local bar associations, high schools, community colleges, and major universities across our State.
