37.310 Legal representation in civil or criminal action arising out of act done in course of duty. If any member of the active militia, when on duty or assembled therefor under competent
authority or lawful order, shall do any act in the discharge of his duty, the doing of which
causes him to be proceeded against by civil court action, it shall be the duty of the
Attorney General to represent the member of the active militia in any civil proceedings so
begun. If, under the same conditions, a member of the active militia is proceeded against
in a criminal action, the adjutant general may, with the approval of the Governor, appoint
for said member of the active militia, legal counsel, who shall represent said member in
any criminal proceedings so begun. The compensation paid the legal counsel shall be
fixed by the adjutant general, with the written approval of the Governor, and upon proper
certification shall be paid from the appropriation for the Department of Military Affairs as
other claims against that department are paid. History: Created 1944 Ky. Acts ch. 10, sec. 4.
