Event-Full

By Anne Skove, Esq.

We haven't posted events here for a number of reasons, but one upcoming occasion merits special notice.

In Louisville on March 25, the Kentucky courts will sponsor Equal Treatment for All: Pursuing Diversity in Kentucky Courts.

Kentucky's AOC has been hard at work on diversity projects (including jury issues) for some time now. Sessions will focus on:

• Promoting diversity in the courts


• Procedural fairness


• Jury selection and diversity


• Court interpretation


• Educating the public about the benefits of diversity


• Recruiting minorities

The keynote will be Justice Carol W. Hunstein of the Georgia Supreme Court. Justice Hunstein will discuss diversity efforts in Georgia courts.

Contact for information: Bobbie Smith, AOC, 800-928-2350.
