Last week, we had the honor of attending Chief Justice Laurance B. VanMeter's retirement reception at the Administrative Office of the Courts.

Best wishes on your next chapter, Chief Justice VanMeter! 🎉⚖️

The Kentucky Bar Association’s Military Law Committee has updated their name so that it expressly states that the committee is for those in uniform and for those who previously served and are now veterans. The KBA Board of Governors officially approved the request at their September meeting and the committee will now be known as the Military and Veterans Law Committee. In addition to the name change, the committee has formally created an email address so that attorneys and citizens can send questions and comments directly to the committee leadership. Email them now at milvetlaw@kybar.org. Learn more about the KBA Military and Veterans Law Committee below! ⬇️🎖️
