The Louisville Courier-Journal contained an interesting article describing Judge Martin’s career in the wake of his announced retirement.  Notably, the article mentions the recent blog post that I did on Judge Martin’s retirement.  The article is an interesting read for background on Judge Martin’s career, but it also shed some possible light on the process that might be involved the selection of his replacement.  Also, it is notable that Judge Martin is actually retiring, rather than taking senior status.  Given the active caseload that he has maintained in recent years, his absence will surely impact the Court’s overall docket management
