Kentucky

Jan. 17-21, 2010 marked SCOKY's Court Week.

Part of these proceeds in the form of the argument calendar and minutes have been posted.

The argument calendar with cases, issues and briefs is available by clicking here.  I was unable to capture any of these live arguments (well, just one).  Consequently, I have submitted a request to the AOC to obtain copies of the DVD for each argument.  My request is pending.

However, it would be a major assist if the attorneys involved in the cases to request a DVD of the orals and send it to me.  If you want further information or need to arrange how to get me the DVD, the email me at bluegrasslawer(at)gmail.com.  To avoid spammers, I have replaced the "@" with "(at)"  so please change accordingly.

The minutes for the week are also available at the Kentucky Court Report where I have a link to the actual minutes and a short summary or "squib" of each published decision.  Click here for the post at Kentucky Court Report which as the squibs to the published cases.
