Former Bridgeport Mayor Joseph Ganim, who served seven years in federal prison after having been convicted on municipal corruption charges, has cleared a major hurdle in his attempt to regain his law license.
The Standing Committee on Recommendations for Admission to the Bar in Fairfield County on Tuesday issued a report saying that Ganim has completed all the steps required by a judge and that committee members believe he is “presently fit to practice law.” A three-judge panel appointed by Chief Justice Chase T. Rogers will make the final ruling on Ganim’s application for reinstatement.
