Supreme Court Justice Michelle M. Keller is scheduled to be formally sworn in at a Capitol ceremony Tuesday morning.
Governor Beshear appointed Keller to the high court in April to fill the unexpired term of Justice Will Schroder who resigned in January due to health issues.
Keller had served as a Kentucky Court of Appeals judge for the past six years. With Keller's appointment, three of Kentucky's seven Supreme Court justices are now women.
