The University of Kentucky J. David Rosenberg College of Law is pleased to announce the second program in the Peter Perlman Lessons in the Law Series. The series, which is free, invites the public to learn about the law from legal experts in our community.

In the upcoming program, “Understanding the Basics of the Criminal Justice System,” a panel of distinguished individuals will discuss processes and procedures in the criminal justice system, including details about how criminal cases move through the courts. This event will be held at 6 p.m. Monday, Nov. 6, at Consolidated Baptist Church, 1625 Russell Cave Road, Lexington, Kentucky.

Registration for this exciting, lifelong learning opportunity is free and encouraged, but not required at law.uky.edu/LessonsInTheLaw.

Panelists include the Honorable Kimberly Baird, Commonwealth’s Attorney, Fayette County; the Honorable Kimberly Nell Bunnell, Chief Circuit Judge, Fayette Circuit Court; the Honorable Vincent Riggs, Circuit Court Clerk, Fayette County; the Honorable J. Guthrie True, Criminal Defense Attorney; the Honorable Ron L. Walker Jr., Assistant U.S. Attorney, Eastern District of Kentucky, and Chief of the Criminal Division; and the Honorable William E. Johnson, an attorney who will serve as moderator.

The Lessons in the Law Series was the vision of alumnus Peter Perlman. William E. Johnson, John G. McNeill, Justice Mary C. Noble (Ret.), and Christine L. Stanley, all alumni of the College of Law, came together as an Advisory Board to join in this effort.  The College decided to name the series after Peter Perlman in honor of his hard work to implement this type of public service program for the community.
