The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines an anachronism as “a chronological misplacing of persons, events, objects or customs in regard to each other.” Connecticut’s General Statutes have a number of provisions at Conn. Gen. Stat. §51-80 through §51-94 that meet this definition.
It is commonly known among judges and attorneys that the judiciary is empowered to promulgate rules governing the regulation of the legal profession, including the admission and discipline of attorneys. The Rules Committee of the Superior Court annually proposes to the Superior Court judges at their annual meeting in June amendments to and/or additions to the Practice Book that deal with the admission and discipline of attorneys.
