Navigating Court Appearances, Motion Practice, Trial, and Mediation: Insights for New Lawyers

Join other new lawyers for a free webinar full of advice on court appearances, motion practice, trial, and mediation.

Our presenter for this webinar is former Fayette Circuit Judge Jeff Taylor. Before being appointed Fayette Circuit Court Judge, Mr. Taylor was a partner with Landrum & Shouse, LLP. For more than 20 years his practice focused on civil insurance defense litigation. He tried all types of personal injury cases, including but not limited to, motor vehicle cases, UM and UIM cases, slip-and-fall cases, bad faith cases, school injury cases, commercial liability claims, and insurance contract disputes.  

Judge Taylor is an "AV Preeminent" rated lawyer by Martindale-Hubbell and was the Kentucky Defense Counsel Lawyer of the Year in 2014. He has been recognized as a Top 50 Super Lawyer for several years before becoming circuit judge. Additionally, he was recognized by Best Lawyers as "Lawyer of the Year" in Litigation-Insurance and has been recognized by the KTCR as one of the most prolific trial attorneys in Kentucky for cases tried to jury since 2005. In addition to many trials as a lawyer, Judge Taylor presided over trials as Fayette Circuit Court Judge and managed a robust civil and criminal docket that included medical negligence cases, nursing home cases, construction cases, injury cases, and contract and estate cases, as well as murder and manslaughter cases. 

Judge Taylor has mediated more than 600 civil cases in the past two years and settled 81% of those cases.
