The Judiciary Committee is clearly the legislative panel that has the greatest impact on Connecticut lawyers, with its duties ranging from confirming judicial nominations to holding hearings on cutting-edge legal issues ranging from criminal sentencing issues to family law reform.
It now appears that there will be a major shake-up in the leadership of the committee, as the House co-chair, Rep. Gerald Fox III announced on Thursday, May 22 that he will not run for re-election to the legislature. Instead, the Stamford attorney will campaign for Stamford probate judge, a position currently held by his father.
