Kentucky Supreme Court visits WKU

BOWLING GREEN, Ky. — The Kentucky Supreme Court is hearing cases on Western Kentucky University’s campus this week.

Arguments are taking place inside the Robertson-Feix ballroom at the Eva and Jim Martens Alumni Center.

The court normally hears arguments at the state Capitol in Frankfort, but the courtroom is currently closed for renovations.

During that time, justices are traveling to different locations across Kentucky to hold hearings and give people a chance to observe the process firsthand.

The first case on the morning of Wednesday, March 11, centers on a dispute between a driver and an insurance company over auto insurance benefits and questioning during the claims process.

Proceedings are open to the public and are also being live-streamed online.

Court officials say events like this are designed to help people better understand how Kentucky’s highest court operates.
