Amidst the re-opening of courts this year, one courthouse has inexplicably been excluded. G.A. 20, Norwalk, which in normal times, conducts criminal and housing matters. No obvious reason exists for this omission. Given the population of the city of Norwalk and the amount of business transacted there, this inaction by the judicial branch defies explanation.

G.A. 20 is located in the Judicial District of Stamford/Norwalk. It comprises the towns of Norwalk, Westport, Wilton, Weston and New Canaan. Norwalk is the sixth largest city in Connecticut. It has a population of approximately 91,000 people according to the 2019 census. Its population increased at a rate of 3.18% since the last census. No other city in Connecticut has this level of population and is without a courthouse.
