   2026 KACDL President:

R. Kenyon Meyer, Dinsmore, LouisvilleR. Kenyon Meyer started his career amassing as much trial experience as possible, and in two-plus decades he has tried everything from death penalty cases to multimillion dollar business disputes to homeowner association mailbox grievances. These and other experiences in state and federal courts have prepared him to handle all of his clients’ needs, even those out of the ordinary.

The managing partner of Dinsmore’s Louisville office, Kenyon represents corporations and individuals as plaintiffs and defendants. He knows that whether his client is a person or a corporation, his work will affects others’ lives, and whenever possible he looks for ways to avoid protracted litigation. But he’s always prepared to go to trial if a case can’t be settled.

KACDL Announces its 2025 Award Recipients

Public Statement from the Kentucky Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers March 13, 2026
The Kentucky Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers notes that Julie Muth Goodman, the recipient of KACDL’s 2025 Fair Administration of Justice Award, is currently the subject of an impeachment petition pending before the Kentucky House of Representatives.
A public hearing before the committee chaired by Jason Nemes has been scheduled for Monday.
KACDL’s mission includes promoting the fair administration of justice and protecting the integrity of the judicial system in Kentucky. The organization believes that the constitutional structure of government—particularly the separation of powers between the legislative and judicial branches—is a foundational principle that helps ensure public confidence in the courts and the rule of law.
Impeachment is among the most serious constitutional authorities vested in a legislature. Because of its significance, it has historically been exercised sparingly. In additional, there are serious constitutional questions about whether the Kentucky Constitution empowers the legislative branch to impeach a sitting judge, especially for decisions that judge makes with which some in society may disagree.
KACDL encourages attorneys, members of the legal community, and citizens who value the rule of law to remain informed about these proceedings and the broader constitutional principles they implicate.
Individuals who wish to share their views may contact their elected legislators considering the petition.
Maintaining respect for the constitutional roles of each branch of government is essential to preserving public trust in the justice system in Kentucky.
