In the two months’ time that has seen the passing of Judge Raymond Norko, Michael Koskoff, and Judge Ellen Bree Burns, widely reported in the press, we also now mourn the passing of yet another giant of our profession: Anthony M. Fitzgerald.
Tony Fitzgerald was much more than his superb education (honors at Taft, Yale, Columbia), his numerous bar recognitions (fellow of The American College of Trial Lawyers, Connecticut state chairman of The American Board of Trial Advocates and recipient of the Lifetime Achievement Award), and his numerous litigation accomplishments (many of which affected the course of our law). By temperament and commitment, he personified the ideals of our profession.
