On Friday, June 14, at the KBA
Annual Convention, the KBA Section of Business Law will be presenting Business Courts - They Are Coming To
Kentucky.
Pursuant to an order of the
Kentucky Supreme Court, there is being launched, on a pilot program basis, a
business court docket in Jefferson County Circuit Court. Judges Cunningham and
Bisig will be the initial judges assigned to this docket.
At this two-hour program, our
panel will review the path by which the business court docket has come into
existence and as well consider a variety of topics that remain under discussion
including the special rules applicable with respect to the business court
docket and the criteria for designating cases to that docket. There will also
be consideration of how business courts/dockets have developed across the
country. We anticipate ample opportunity for questions from the audience.
Presenting on Kentucky’s new
business court docket will be, from the Kentucky Supreme Court, Chief Justice
John D. Minton, Jr. and Deputy Chief Justice Lisabeth Hughes. They will be
joined by Jefferson County Circuit Court Judges Angela McCormick Bisig and
Charles Cunningham and by Judge James L. Gale from the North Carolina Business
Court. Kenly Ames of English Lucas Priest & Owsley, LLP will serve as the
moderator.
This presentation will be held
on Friday, June 14 commencing at 10:10 and concluding at 12:20 (there will be a
10 minute break in the program). It will take place in the French Room at the Galt
House Hotel.
