Circuit Judge C.A. Woodall, who serves Caldwell, Livingston, Lyon and Trigg counties, participated in the 2008 Circuit Judges College held Oct. 26-30 in Covington. The Administrative Office of the Courts offered the college for Circuit Court judges and Family Court judges throughout the state.

?As judges in Circuit Court, we preside over an array of cases,? said Chief Regional Circuit Judge Thomas L. Clark, who serves Fayette County and is president of the Kentucky Circuit Judges Association. ?The sessions provided us with useful and timely information on judicial processes and critical topics like domestic violence and jail overcrowding.?

Professor Barbara E. Bergman of the University of New Mexico School of Law, an expert on evidence and criminal procedure, taught an in-depth session on the rules of evidence for criminal cases. James Clark, associate dean of the University of Kentucky College of Social Work; Otto Kaak, a UK psychiatry professor; and Jefferson County Family Court Judge Jerry J. Bowles led a session on domestic violence.

Other courses covered division of property and retirement accounts with regard to marital property, jail overcrowding, court decorum, ethics, new legislation and judicial recusals. Kentucky Supreme Court Justice Lisabeth Hughes Abramson provided the judges with a case law update.

Chief Justice of Kentucky John D. Minton Jr. also addressed the judges during the college. This was the first Circuit Judges College since Chief Justice Minton took office in June.
