Benham J. Sims, III,
Former Jefferson District Judge
I am a practicing attorney who has served as a Judge, trial prosecutor, defense attorney, author, special prosecutor and special public defender. Because of this experience, I have been asked to serve as a seminar instructor at prosecutor conferences, public defender conferences, police department training, and for the Kentucky and Louisville Bar Associations. In 2008, I had the honor of serving as a Special Justice on the Kentucky Supreme Court. My life and work experience gives me a unique perspective.
