Court Of Appeals Chief Steps Down
KENTUCKY...
While entering her third year of of a second term, Judge Sara Walter Combs stepped down as chief judge last week, bringing an immediate change in administration at the Kentucky Court of Appeals. Combs said she wants to spend less time running the court and more time on what she calls "the essential work" of the appellate court. Combs said she also wants to spend more time associating with people in her district and helping preserve the memory of her late husband, the former Governor Bert Combs. Judge Laurance B. VanMeter is now the acting chief judge of the court, which will elect a new chief judge in June.
