Timeline

2015

In retirement, Palmore began writing history books. He also published two autobiographies, An Opinionated Career: Memoirs of a Kentucky Judge in 2003 and From the Panama Canal to Elkhorn Creek in 2006. In 2014, Palmore was inducted into the Kentucky Bar Foundation's "Senator Henry Clay Circle". His wife, Carol Pate Palmore, died December 6, 2015. Palmore died on July 4, 2017, one month before his 100th birthday.

1987

Palmore received the Brandeis Medal from the University of Louisville School of Law in 1987 and was named an Alumni Fellow in 1993. Also in 1993, he was inducted into the Western Kentucky University Hall of Distinguished Alumni. For his defense of freedom of the press, he was given The First Prize by the Louisville chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists.

1984

In 1984, Palmore moved back to Henderson and re-opened his law practice. Later that year, he was named to the board of regents for Western Kentucky University, where he served until 1988. He was awarded an honorary doctor of laws degree from Eastern Kentucky University in 1984. In 1986, he moved back to Central Kentucky to join his son, John W. Palmore, in the Lexington law firm of Jackson, Kelly, Williams & Palmore. He considered running for governor in 1987, but ultimately decided to manage the campaign of former Governor Julian Carroll.

1983

After his retirement, Palmore became a legal advisor to then-Lieutenant Governor Martha Layne Collins. When Governor John Y. Brown, Jr. fell critically ill following heart surgery in 1983, Palmore advised Collins to take the role of acting governor. After Collins was elected governor, her administration hired Palmore to represent the state in several legal cases. Under a standard practice of rejecting all personal services contracts that paid more than $75 per hour, a legislative committee initially rejected Palmore's contracts, which paid $125 per hour, but Collins representatives overruled them.

1976

In 1976, an amendment to the Kentucky Constitution renamed the court to the Kentucky Supreme Court and created a new Court of Appeals below it. Palmore and the other justices on the old Court of Appeals were retained on the Kentucky Supreme Court. Palmore served as the court's chief justice from 1977 until his retirement in 1982. In his judicial career, he wrote more than 800 opinions.

1959

Palmore continued as Commonwealth's attorney until he was elected to the Kentucky Court of Appeals in 1959. In 1966 and 1973, he served as the court's chief justice. In 1969, Palmore chaired a 10-person committee charged with revising the Kentucky Criminal Code.

1955

After the death of 5th district circuit judge Marlin L. Blackwell in 1955, Governor Earle C. Clements appointed the district's Commonwealth's attorney, Faust Y. Simpson, to the judgeship and Palmore as the new Commonwealth's attorney, possibly as a reward for supporting Clements' ally, Bert T. Combs, in the 1955 Democratic gubernatorial primary against Clements' factional foe, A. B. "Happy" Chandler. Palmore began his service on October 12, 1955, and was immediately tasked with prosecuting a high-profile murder case against Ben Charles Sitton, who was accused of killing police officer Jack Rainier during a traffic stop. The Fraternal Order of Police, concerned that Palmore's inexperience would result in Sitton's acquittal, asked Palmore to allow a more experienced attorney to try the case, but Palmore refused. On January 27, 1956, after just over three hours of deliberation, a jury returned a guilty verdict against Sitton and recommended a death sentence. The verdict was overturned on a technicality, and Palmore was forced to try it again, winning a second conviction on June 29, 1956; the second jury recommended a sentence of life imprisonment.

1954

Palmore began the practice of law in Henderson, Kentucky, but suspended his practice to serve in World War II. On his return from the war, he served as city attorney for Henderson. On January 2, 1954, he began a two-year term as city attorney for Sebree.

He then enrolled at Western Kentucky University and also joined the National Guard. After two years at Western Kentucky, he matriculated to the University of Louisville School of Law. In 1939, he graduated cum laude from law school.
