Michael D. Goldfarb, a commercial litigation associate at Murtha Cullina in Hartford, loves following politics. When he joined the executive committee of the Connecticut Bar Association’s Young Lawyers Section a couple of years ago, he wanted to bring his passion for politics to the young lawyers at large.

So last year, he became the section’s director of government relations and set about creating an event series called “Conversations with the Government.” During the series, prominent members of government address and mingle with the state’s young lawyers.
