Lambert formally sworn in as Supreme Court justice By Jamie Neal Frankfort, KY -. - Justice Debra Hembree Lambert was formally sworn in as a justice of the Supreme Court of Kentucky at a ceremony Monday at the state Capitol in Frankfort. Chief Justice of Kentucky John D. Minton Jr. administered the oath of office to the court's newest justice, who was elected in November to serve the 27 counties of the 3rd Supreme Court District. Justice Lambert is the first woman from the 3rd District to serve on the Supreme Court and on the Court of Appeals, where she was a judge for four years before being elected to the Supreme Court. She is also the first justice to have served as a Family Court judge. "I am pleased that a person of Justice Lambert's capability is joining this court," Chief Justice Minton said at the investiture. "All of Kentucky - all of us - will benefit from her practical experience in Kentucky's courtrooms and her pioneering spirit as she joins this court in a pivotal time, as we have the challenge of leading the Judicial Branch through the changing realities of American law. I am looking forward to the contributions you will make as a member of this court." Justice Lambert said she was a "proud, authentic mountain girl" and that her upbringing in the small Eastern Kentucky town of Greasy Creek made her passionate about justice and a level playing field for all people. "I know each case file is more than just a number," she said. "It contains the livelihood, and perhaps liberty, of real people." During the ceremony, Justice Lambert's fellow justices offered advice and encouragement, with several complimenting her compassion and commenting that it would be positive to have the experience of a Family Court judge on the Supreme Court bench. "Justice Lambert, you have earned your place on this court," said Justice Daniel J. Venters (ret.), who Justice Lambert succeeded on the court following his retirement. "You have won the confidence, trust and affection of the people in our region." Justice Lambert was surrounded by friends and family at the event, including husband Joseph Sharpe, sons Joseph and John Lambert, and stepdaughter Chelsea Sharpe Woolums and her husband, Evan Woolums. Joseph Patrick Lambert, who is an attorney, made the motion for her to take the oath of office and John held the Bible for his mother as she took the oath. The justice was initially sworn in prior to taking office Jan. 7. Other speakers at the ceremony were Court of Appeals Judge Sara Walter Combs and attorney Stephen C. Cawood of Pineville. The Rev. David Gambrel, who is the Lincoln County property valuation administrator, provided the invocation, and Aden Amburgey, a Rockcastle County High School student, sang "My Old Kentucky Home."
