Justice Bill Cunningham, Supreme Court of Kentucky
The Supreme Court of Kentucky heard oral arguments on November 13 & 14, 2013. Mea culpa, but I failed to post them in a timely fashion for those who might have wished to attend or watch on-line. To keep the archives current, I am posting now.
There was one tort, insurance and civil procedure case set to be heard this week.
