Our Commitment
The Kentucky Bar Association is the definitive resource for information about the practice of law in Kentucky. From recent developments to information about existing areas of the law, we are committed to providing accurate, up-to-date, relevant information to guide our members.
Bench & Bar
KBA members receive bi-monthly issues of the Kentucky Bench & Bar Magazine, which is designed to inform attorneys of new developments in the legal system, and to further educate attorneys in existing areas of the law. The magazine also provides an outlet for announcements of promotions, firm formations or relocations, and honors. Because most articles are authored by Kentucky attorneys, the information should prove beneficial to Kentucky law practices. The Communications & Publications Committee always welcomes submission of articles and editorial comments from readers.
