Family Court Judge Marcus Vanover (Div.1) has been selected by his circuit colleagues as the new Chief Judge for the 28th Judicial Circuit.
Longtime Family Court Judge Marcus Vanover has been named chief judge of the 28th Judicial Circuit.
Vanover is taking over from Jeffrey Burdette, who retired from the circuit s Division 2 judgeship on March 16. The 28th Judicial Circuit is comprised of Pulaski, Lincoln and Rockcastle counties.
Per state judicial regulations, the chief judge is elected biennally by his or her peers in the circuit rather than selected by seniority. However, Vanover is the longest-serving judge currently on the bench with Circuit Judge Teresa Whitaker having been elected for Division 1 just last year and Family Court Judge Jane Adams Venters in 2018.
