State ex rel. We offer no opinion under what circumstances a submissible case may be made against members of the Board of County Visitors, or against the Board itself, in that the question you presented did not specify what type of cause of action was contemplated. If a claim is made against a member of the Board, or the Board itself, however, the Legal Expense Fund is unavailable to whichever defendants may be named. Those individuals include any officer or employee of the State of Missouri or any agency of the state, including elected officials, appointees, members of boards and commissions and members of the national guard, staff of the juvenile division of any judicial circuit and to a variety of health care providers under numerous circumstances not relevant to your inquiry. Nowhere within the LEF provisions is there coverage for individuals appointed to a board such as the Board of County Visitors.
Bailiffs receive their compensation from the county.
