Leebern Allen*,**, LL.B.
Leebern Allen (September 11, 1887 - June 7, 1957) was born in Wolfe County, Kentucky to Caleb Bertrum Allen and Rhoda Elam. Allen returned to Wolfe County after graduation and began private practice. He served one term as Wolfe County Attorney. Between 1948 and 1949, Allen's law license was suspended after he and his law partner were accused of fraud in obtaining divorces for clients (212 S.W.2d 328). In 1950, the Kentucky Court of Appeals ruled that Allen was not subject to censure after he began practicing law at the end of his suspension before being formally reinstated (234 S.W.2d 299). He married Mazie Boothe in 1911.
