The chair of a new task force that is examining whether to bring mandatory legal education to the state ended his first meeting by handing out a homework assignment. “I want both sides of the argument to come in with some ideas that might allow us to bridge that gap,” Superior Court Judge Elliot N. Solomon said.
Connecticut remains one of five states without mandatory, or minimum as it is now called, continuing legal education, and members of the state bar seem to be deeply divided on the issue. Solomon and 11 others were appointed by Chief Justice Chase Rogers to serve on the task force whose creation was suggested by the Superior Court Rules Committee.
