Issues include application of "law of the case" and the propriety of the Court of Appeals' review only for manifest injustice because of appellant's counsel's filing of a brief in that court failing to comply with CR 76.12 and prior court orders.

Taylor Circuit Court, Judge Samuel T. Spalding

Counsel for Appellant: Steven N. Potter
Counsel for Appellee: Ken W. Riggs


The Supreme Court is the state court of last resort and the final interpreter of Kentucky law. Seven justices sit on the Supreme Court and all seven justices rule on appeals that come before the court. The justices are elected from seven appellate districts and serve eight-year terms. A chief justice, chosen for a four-year term by fellow justices, is the administrative head of the state's court system and is responsible for its operation. The Supreme Court may order a ruling or opinion to be published, which means that the ruling becomes the case law governing all similar cases in the future in Kentucky.
