Kentucky Bar Foundation funds UPIKE’s Judicial Speaker Series

For the second consecutive year, the University of Pikeville has received funding from the Kentucky Bar Foundation to support a judicial speaker series. By engaging students as well as the campus and local communities on issues surrounding the judicial system, UPIKE will continue meeting its mission to create opportunities for Central Appalachia.

“Thanks to the generosity of the Kentucky Bar Foundation, our inaugural Judicial Speaker Series offered insight to such topics as the history of the Kentucky supreme court and the death penalty,” said Nancy Cade, Ph.D., Davenport Distinguished Professor of History and Political Science and Sturgill Distinguished Professor at UPIKE. “In the upcoming year, we will build on this collaboration to further educate our community on the legal system including the various careers associated with the courts.”

Details of the second UPIKE/Kentucky Bar Foundation judicial speaker series are being finalized and will be announced soon.
