Kentucky's courts have prepared forms for landlords to help them prosecute evictions efficiently. They call landlords and their attorneys when they don't show up to court. Yet, when the Kentucky Equal Justice Center and other organizations ask for the Courts to provide necessary, important information to Kentuckians facing eviction, the Courts—top to bottom—say they can't because they have to be "impartial." I just totally reject that. Links: * Update on our federal lawsuit (https://www.kyequaljustice.org/post/jefferson-county-eviction-due-process-lawsuit) challenging the constitutionality of the Jefferson District Court's eviction processes (contains links to briefing filed to date) * KEJC's letter to the Kentucky Supreme Court (https://5f301f23-ec36-41bd-8ffd-0c207e64d461.usrfiles.com/ugd/5f301f_ca2100a02dbf48f8b8e55cb4e0304a57.pdf) and Administrative Office of the Courts begging them to provide more information to people facing eviction * AOC's Response (https://5f301f23-ec36-41bd-8ffd-0c207e64d461.usrfiles.com/ugd/5f301f_28d79c6c974a4dfa81e3ff80b3d0a44c.pdf) saying they couldn't provide any additional info because that would be "impartial" * Shinkle v. Turner (https://casetext.com/case/shinkle-v-turner#p420): Kentucky Supreme Court case recognizing that the laws governing evictions in Kentucky are “at least a hundred years old and arguably [are] now ill-suited to the reality of modem landlord-tenant relations” and that these laws are "difficult to apply in the modem court system." Shinkle v. Turner, 496 S.W.3d 418, 420 (Ky. 2016).

In 2011, Ben Carter, who is currently Senior Litigation and Advocacy Counsel at the Kentucky Equal Justice Center, wrote an imaginary commencement address. It was the kind of commencement address that graduating law students will never hear, but the kind of commencement address they need to hear. You can read the text of the original address here. In light of the Coronavirus pandemic, he recorded an audio version of the address, which is as relevant and timely as ever. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

In this episode, Ben Carter, Senior Litigation and Advocacy Counsel at the Kentucky Equal Justice Center, discusses his work litigating the right to healthcare, voting, and housing. Among other things, he discusses the history and purpose of the KEJC and some of its current litigation projects. He also reflects on how the pandemic will affect low-income people in Kentucky. You can listen to Carter's imaginary law school commencement address here. Carter is on Twitter at @notbencarter.This episode was hosted by Brian L.

Ben Carter doesn't live in a van, but he is the Senior Litigation Attorney at the Kentucky Equal Justice Center. He deals with eleventy billion equity issues including affordable housing, which is quite relevant to the various minimal living movements like vehicular habitation and tiny houses. We visited him in his comfortable stationary house in Louisville, KY earlier this year. And we had such a spirited conversation that I asked him to come on the podcast when he came out to a conference in San Diego. This guy is fucking brilliant and equally compassionate. And I love it when a conversation changes the way I think about a topic. I'm pleased to say that happened in this podcast.

Ben Carter is a lawyer here in Louisville who practices consumer law. He’s also an op-ed columnist at the Louisville Courier Journal, and his columns have appeared in USA Today. Between 2008–2010, Ben worked at the Legal Aid Society and helped Jefferson County build an innovative, county-wide response to its foreclosure crisis. As a litigator, he has defended homeowners from foreclosure with novel, emerging, and bold advocacy. Ben has just taken a position with the Kentucky Equal Justice Center as Senior Litigator.Full disclosure, Ben is a member of the congregation I serve. So, I’ve known Ben for about 10 years or so. I’m really excited to talk to him about how to write an op-ed. He is one of the sharpest guys I’ve ever had the pleasure to work with.Here are a couple of examples of Ben’s Op-eds (including the now infamous “jackassery” piece): here and here.You can find Ben at his web site http://bencarterlaw.com, on Twitter at @notbencarter, and by email ben@kyequaljustice.org.

On today's show, I am joined by Cara Stewart of the Kentucky Equal Justice Center to discuss three important healthcare stories that have gotten lost in recent political coverage.  We discuss the future of U.S. HIV/AIDS policy and research in the wake of President Trump firing the members of the Presidential Council on HIV/AIDS, the likelihood of Congress securing funding for the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) and how this affects families in Kentucky and across the country, and the impact of the GOP Tax bill on healthcare policy.   I learned a great deal from this conversation with Cara, and I hope that it can be the same experience for you!   TELL A FRIEND.

We're back!   For Episode 37, I am joined by two health care experts to discuss the Republican plan to repeal and replace Obamacare.  Cara Stewart, a Health Law Fellow at the Kentucky Equal Justice Center and Dustin Pugel, a Research and Policy Associate at the Kentucky Center for Economic Policy join me on the show to breakdown the successes and failures of Obamacare, areas where the ACA could be improved, as well as the overall impact of this bill on the country.  We then explore the details of "The World's Greatest Healthcare Plan of 2017" and discuss why repealing and replacing Obamacare with this Republican bill could be devastating for so many Americans.  From Medicaid Expansion to the individual mandate, the Republican plan will take us in a vastly different direction, one that will likely mean the loss of health insurance for millions of Americans.   We will break down all the details of this plan and discuss how it is expected to impact citizens across the country.  Thank you for taking the time to listen to this important episode.   TELL A FRIEND.
