George Muehlenkamp, judge
Former Campbell Circuit Judge George T. Muehlenkamp spent most of his working life in the public eye.
But whether as an assistant city attorney in Newport, Campbell County attorney or pioneering jurist, Judge Muehlenkamp insisted on pulling no punches.
"You'd have to know George. On the one hand, he was quiet. But on the other, he had a booming voice," said Lambert Hehl, a former Campbell County judge-executive who knew Judge Muehlenkamp for more than 40 years.
"He was a good lawyer and a professional person. He watched his ethics and had a lot of legal ability."
Judge Muehlenkamp, 80, of Highland Heights, died at 1:26 p.m. Tuesday at Highlands of Ft. Thomas nursing home.
A Newport native who grew up in Ft. Thomas, the judge was known for his keen intellect. In 1948, he scored the second-highest rating on the state bar exam when he graduated from the University of Kentucky Law School.
Judge Muehlenkamp was an assistant Newport city attorney in 1950-51, Campbell County attorney in 1953-1977 and a district court judge in 1978-83. He was elevated to the circuit court in 1984 and retired on his 72nd birthday in September 1988.
The judge had a strong sense of humor but could be gruff. He expected lawyers to be prepared, gave them respect when they deserved it and earned it in return, said Justin Verst, an assistant Campbell County attorney since 1978 and a former campaign worker for Judge Muehlenkamp. Judge Muehlenkamp presided over a variety of cases, from adult bookstores to zoning disputes.
"He treated everyone straight and fair and was up front with you. You couldn't ask for anything more," Verst said.
Robert Sanders, a Covington lawyer, said Judge Muehlenkamp was known for his compassion in helping lawyers who suffered from alcoholism and other substance abuses. Through the Kentucky Bar Association, "he saved a lot of people's practices, if not their lives, through the years," Sanders said.
He served on the state Legislative Ethics Commission but resigned last year after saying officials gutted the commission's authority.
Other survivors include his wife, Mary Helen Lewis Muehlenkamp; a son, Thomas Lewis Muehlenkamp of Cincinnati; a daughter, Sister Mary Peter Muehlenkamp; and a brother, Charles J. Muehlenkamp of Florence.
