Kentucky Instructions to Juries provides examples of instructions that are uniform, concise and specific. You'll save time and practice confidently with convenient and authoritative instructions.

The Criminal Instructions, prepared by William S. Cooper, Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of Kentucky and revised by Donald P. Cetrulo, Former Director of the Administrative Office of the Court, track the language of the statute almost by rote.

The Civil Instructions, prepared by John S. Palmore, Former Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Kentucky, and revised by Donald P. Cetrulo cover civil instructions generally, including negligence, intentional torts, and other civil wrongs.

References to relevant cases following the sample instructions provide source material to aid the attorney in drafting final instructions. Commentary by the authors, provides essential background information, explains the rationale for the language used in the instruction, and offers illuminating comparisons with similar or related instructions: making the commentary as important as the instructions themselves.

John S. Palmore

It is widely believed that Judge John S. Palmore has had more impact on the law of the state of Kentucky than has any other judge in this century. During his more than 20 years as a member of the Kentucky Court of Appeals (the state's highest court which then became the Kentucky Supreme Court), Palmore contributed volumes of published opinions to the law of Kentucky. While chief justice, he spearheaded the transition from the antiquated court system to the modern system of courts now in place in Kentucky. Judge Palmore chaired the review commission that supervised the drafting of the current Kentucky Penal Code.

He graduated cum laude from the University of Louisville Law School in 1939, attended the Harvard Graduate School of Business Administration then went into private practice in his home town of Henderson, Kentucky. He was in the Navy and saw active duty in the Pacific arena during WWII.

Judge Palmore served as chief justice in 1966, 1973 and from 1977 to 1982. He remained a member of the state's highest court until he retired in 1982. He retired from private law practice in 1992 and lives in Frankfort, Kentucky.
