Marion attorney Alan Stout has been selected as a U.S. Bankruptcy judge for the Western District of Kentucky to fill a vacancy being created by the retirement of Judge David Stosberg.
A former five-term Crittenden County Attorney, Stout has been in private practice in Marion since 1981. Over the next three months, Stout will phase out his private practice in Marion.
Once sworn to the federal judgeship – sometime before the end of the year – his term on the bench will be for 14 years.
Stout says he will maintain a residence in Marion and Louisville while on the bench. The Western District is headquartered in Louisville and Stout anticipates overseeing dockets in Owensboro and Louisville. There are other satellite courts in Bowling Green and Paducah.
