Louisville Councilman and Mayoralty Candidate Jim King Asks Lawyers to Grade His Daughter, Judge Katie King

The Courier-Journal, October 16, 2009

Jim King, the Louisville Metro Council member has sent an e-mail to lawyers asking those who have had “a good experience” on cases handled by his daughter, Jefferson District Judge Katie King, to “please grade her accordingly” on the Louisville Bar Association’s current judicial evaluation.

The request — which attorneys say appears unprecedented — has divided lawyers and ethics experts, some of whom defend it, while others say that it inappropriate and could skew the evaluation’s results.
