Pregnancy Related Prosecutions
Presented by KACDL Board Director Tricia Lister, a scholar recipient of NACDL's Demystifying Medical & Digital Evidence in Abortion Cases Seminar will spend the majority of the hour discussing how Kentucky defenders can effectively represent clients charged with pregnancy related crimes.

Tricia Lister
Jefferson County
Tricia Lister has been a criminal defense and appeals attorney in Jefferson County since 2016. In 2022, she ran for Court of Appeals Judge in a county-wide election. She received just over 41% of the vote, and found the experience incredibly educational. Having served as President of the Jefferson County Women Lawyers Association in 2023, Tricia is currently a Board member of the WLA, the LBA, the KACDL, the Commonwealth Theatre Center, and the Political Women's Council. Before starting law school, Tricia worked as a library assistant in San Francisco, as a pre-school teacher, as a barista, as a doula, and as a stay-at-home mom. She has three children and started law school the day her youngest child turned three-years-old. (Now that youngest child is in law school!) Tricia and her three children are graduates of public schools in Louisville, and she served on the Site Based Decision Making Council, an elected position, for her children’s school for many years. Tricia is passionate about fighting for equity – particularly in regards to women and people of color. Tricia participated in the protests surrounding the death of Breonna Taylor, and provided free legal representation to some of the arrested protestors. Tricia loves spending time with her family, hiking, camping, running, soaking up sunshine, and playing with her two dogs.
