By Joseph Lyell —
Chief Justice John Minton delivered the 2018 State of the Judiciary address to Kentucky’s interim joint judiciary committee Nov. 2 at the law school’s Cox Lounge. Minton has headed Kentucky’s supreme court for 10 years.
In his address, Minton highlighted Jefferson County’s October launch of a pilot program aimed at reducing the number of pretrial incarcerations.
“Once released from custody, the defendants typically need help with substance abuse disorder, and obtaining employment, housing and health insurance,” Minton said.
