Attorney General Jack Conway today announced the recipients of the 2014 Outstanding Commonwealth's and County Attorney Awards as part of the Kentucky Prosecutors Conference at the Lexington Convention Center. Nearly 700 prosecutors, staff members, and law enforcement officials from across Kentucky are attending the three-day conference sponsored by the Office of the Attorney General and the Prosecutors Advisory Council.

The recipients of the 2014 Outstanding County Attorney Awards are Jennifer Hutchison-Corbin, Adair County Attorney since September of 2000, and Mike Foster, who has served as the Christian County Attorney for the past 33 years.


"Jennifer is committed to cracking down on drunken drivers in her community, and her office maintains a strong record of aggressively prosecuting DUI cases," General Conway said. "Jennifer is active in the Kentucky County Attorney's Association, and she always answers the call from my office to serve as a special prosecutor. One of Jennifer's top priorities is serving the families of her community. She has been recognized for her efforts in obtaining child support collections, ensuring that the children in Adair County receive the financial support they deserve."

Of Foster, General Conway stated, "Mike is now a four-time recipient of the Outstanding County Attorney award, having previously received the award in 1987, 2001, and 2005. In addition to his involvement in local civic affairs in Christian County, Mike is a member of the Prosecutors Advisory Council and also serves on the board of directors for the Kentucky County Attorney's Association, where he has been instrumental in developing legislation benefiting the county attorneys and county governments of Kentucky. I appreciate Mike's long-time and distinguished service to his county and to our Commonwealth."

The recipients of the 2014 Outstanding Commonwealth's Attorney Awards are Edison Banks, Commonwealth's Attorney for the 47th Judicial Circuit representing Letcher County, and Chris Cohron, who serves as Commonwealth's Attorney for the 8th Judicial Circuit representing Warren County.

"Edison is a tough prosecutor who is a tremendous help to my Office of Special Prosecutions, having accepted 12 appointments as a special prosecutor this past year alone," General Conway said. "Additionally, Edison was the first prosecutor in eastern Kentucky to successfully prosecute an illegal doctor-shopping case using KASPER, and he remains committed to helping combat the scourge of prescription drug abuse in the Commonwealth. I appreciate his tireless efforts to fight illegal drug use in his community and help keep Kentucky families safe."

Of Cohron, General Conway stated, "Chris always goes above and beyond the call of duty as a Commonwealth's Attorney, and he exemplifies the true meaning of a public servant. Chris is active in his community and his work as a Commonwealth's Attorney has made him one of the most recognized and distinguished prosecutors in Kentucky, having first received the Outstanding Commonwealth's Attorney Award in 2007. Since that time, he has received numerous awards, including the Carroll M. Redford Award, which is the highest honor bestowed upon a Commonwealth's Attorney by the Kentucky Commonwealth's Attorney's Association. Additionally, his work as Legislative Director of the Commonwealth's Attorney's Association is to be applauded, as his efforts in Frankfort have helped save critical funding for Kentucky prosecutors that may have otherwise been cut."
