The Kentucky Retired Justice or Judge Voucher for Services as Special Judge is a form used to pay a retired justice or judge for services provided to a court as a special judge. It provides compensation for the retired justice or judge’s time and expenses associated with the requested service. This voucher is issued by the Administrative Office of the Court (AOC) for use in all state courts. The voucher is usually used by judges who have retired from the Kentucky Supreme Court or Court of Appeals. The voucher is available in two forms: the Kentucky Retired Justice or Judge Voucher for Service as Special Judge (Form AOC-K-7) and the Kentucky Retired Justice or Judge Voucher for Service as Special Judge with Expenses (Form AOC-K-7E). The first form is used to pay a retired justice or judge for services provided as a special judge with no expenses. The second form is used to pay a retired justice or judge for services provided as a special judge with expenses. This voucher is intended to ensure that retired justices and judges are adequately compensated for the services they provide to the court. It also ensures that the court is able to utilize the expertise of retired justices and judges in a timely and efficient manner.
