KY RKLD Rule 1
Rule 1
Private citizens who wish to obtain criminal process or otherwise register a complaint within Laurel County against another person shall be afforded the opportunity to voluntarily select, in lieu of criminal prosecution, the option of submitting the dispute to an informal pretrial conference wherein mediation of the complaint will be attempted. The various options of utilizing an arrest warrant, a summons or an invitation to mediation will be thoroughly explained to the complainant by an intake screening officer. The choice of Court process rather than informal mediation shall be decided by the complainant; however, review of the facts involved in the complaint for probable cause shall remain the prerogative of the Prosecutor and the Court.
