LEXINGTON, Ky. (March 7, 2006) − Greg Napier, a third-year University of
Kentucky law student, was one of six law students nationwide to be selected by the American
College of Bankruptcy as a Distinguished Bankruptcy Law Student.

“Greg is an exceptional student,” Frost said. “He clearly will be an asset to the Commonwealth’s legal community in the near future and we are very proud of his nomination.”
