Background and Methodology
Background
The Louisville Bar Association (LBA) contracted the services of Thoroughbred Research Group to assist in its annual review of theperformance of sitting judges. The LBA sent evaluations to all Kentucky Bar Association members with contact addresses in JeffersonCounty to rate the performance of various judges with whom they have had experience over the past two years. Judges included in the 2014evaluation were those serving on United States District Court for the Western District of Kentucky, United States Bankruptcy Court for theWestern District of Kentucky, and Jefferson District Court. Also included in the 2014 evaluation were Magistrates for the Western District ofKentucky.
Methodology
In March 2014, letters and postcards were sent to 4,514 KBA members informing them of the annual Judicial Evaluation. Members who were
qualified to participate in the review were asked to fill out the postcard request and return it to Thoroughbred Research Group no later thanMarch 31, 2014. A total of 578 postcard requests were received by the postmark date. Survey packets and return envelopes were mailed tothe 578 members in early April. Reminders were posted on the LBA website and social media pages throughout the following two weeks.Respondents were asked to return the completed evaluation forms to Thoroughbred Research Group postmarked no later than April 28, 2014.
A total of 295 completed survey forms were returned by the postmark date.
Response Rate
Because of the size of the litigation bar and the nature of such practice, only a limited number of attorneys have had significant experiencewith a particular judge in a specific court. Consequently, from the original 4,514 attorneys who received notice of the evaluation, just a fractioncould reasonably be expected to respond to the survey questions. Of those attorneys who were qualified and agreed to respond to the
evaluation, many may have significant experience in only one of the courts evaluated or with a limited number of the judges listed. Still, thenumber of lawyers responding is more than adequate to result in a statistically valid evaluation of the judiciary.
Questionnaire
The survey instrument included a series of 19 attributes for the United States District Court and Jefferson District Court, and 17 attributes forUnited States Bankruptcy Court and Magistrates that were used to evaluate the performance of each judge. Respondents were asked toindicate the extent to which they agreed or disagreed with each statement used to describe a particular judge using a four-point rating scale ofstrongly disagree, disagree, agree, and strongly agree. Respondents were also given an option to write in any advice they would give to aparticular judge to improve his/her performance. These comments were provided only to the applicable judge under separate cover as

confidential feedback for his or her personal review. General comments on how to improve the evaluation process and the court system weresubmitted to the LBA and chief judge of each court, respectively, under separate cover. Respondents were instructed to rate only those
judges with whom they have had substantial professional contact within the past two years.
Where applicable, comparative ratings are shown from the most recent prior Judicial Evaluation in 2011.
The judges rated during the 2014 evaluation and the total number of respondents rating each judge is shown below:
United States District Court for the Western District of Kentucky Joseph H. McKinley Jr. (n = 43)
United States District Court for the Western District of Kentucky Senior Judge John G. Heyburn II (n = 112) Thomas B. Russell (n = 78) Charles R. Simpson III (n = 97)
United States Bankruptcy Court for the Western District of Kentucky Thomas H. Fulton (n = 42) Joan A. Lloyd (n = 45) Alan C. Stout (n = 34)
Magistrates for the Western District of Kentucky (Sitting in Louisville) James D. Moyer (n = 98) Dave Whalin (n = 79)
Magistrates for the Western District of Kentucky (Sitting Elsewhere) H. Brent Brennenstuhl (n = 11) Lanny King (n = 12)
Jefferson District Court Donald E. Armstrong Jr. (n = 175) David P. Bowles (n = 182) Stephanie Pearce Burke (n = 142) Gina Kay Calvert (n = 134) Sheila A. Collins (n = 144) Sean R. Delahanty (n = 152) Eric J. Haner (n=82) Anne Leitsch Haynie (n = 157) David L. Holton II (n = 171) Annette C. Karem (n = 135) Kathryn R. Katie King (n = 153) Deana H. Dee McDonald (n = 85)
Sandra L. McLaughlin (n = 120) Ann Bailey Smith (n = 138) Michele B. Stengel (n = 120) Jennifer B. Wilcox (n = 129) Erica Lee Williams (n = 124)
Jefferson District Court Senior Status Janice R. Martin (n = 90) Joan A. Toni Stringer (n = 90)
Note: Magistrates Brennenstuhl and King occasionally hear cases in the Louisville area, and are therefore included in this evaluation.However, they primarily adjudicate cases in other areas of the Western District of Kentucky. The views of the Louisville-area attorneysshown here should not be interpreted as an evaluation from the full range of attorneys who have practiced before these magistratesduring the past two years.
