Jane Broadwater Long, LMICK’s Vice President and Claims Counsel, Retiring

After more than twenty remarkable years with Lawyers Mutual, we announce the bittersweet retirement of Jane Broadwater Long, whose dedication, expertise, and warmth have left an enduring mark on Lawyers Mutual. While we will deeply miss her daily presence, we are grateful that this farewell is not a full goodbye—she will continue to support us through consulting work as she embarks on this exciting next chapter.

eSearch Warrant is Now Live Statewide

The rollout of the eSearch Warrant program that lets police request and judges authorize or deny search warrants was completed at the end of October and is now live in all 120 counties. The project is a collaboration between the Administrative Office of the Courts and Kentucky State Police.

The program works off the eWarrant platform that KSP had been using since 2009. Employing the existing technology, LexisNexis developed the eSearch Warrant program for KSP. The AOC provided the case management system component. The Supreme Court of Kentucky authorized the eSearch Warrant system for the courts with Administrative Order 2023-29, which can be viewed here: https://kcoj.info/SCOrder202329.
