Judges like bill to open juvenile courts, but it would make reporters' notes subject to inspection

Family Court judges told a legislative committee yesterday that Kentucky's juvenile courts should be made open, to improve scrutiny of the state's bedraggled system of child protection, and endorsed a bill to start that. But the state's leading news-media lawyer, who has been fighting to open the system, objected to a provision in the bill that would make notes taken by anyone in court subject to inspection by the judge.
