First Black Justice Calls For Reforms
Kentucky's first black Supreme Court justice says he would like to see reforms made in the selection process for appellate judges. William Eugene McAnulty Jr. said he would like to see the state's district, circuit and trial judges become part of the selection process for the Kentucky Court of Appeals. Justices currently are elected to that court. He said another idea for reform is to have appointment by the governor with the consent of the Senate. He made the comments during a banquet Saturday in Owensboro held in conjunction with the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday.
