CommentaryRecently, we lost Attorney Carolyn K. Querijero, who spent her legal career working for the people of the State of Connecticut, only the second woman to serve as deputy attorney general in Connecticut.
Carolyn was a trailblazer in many ways, starting at the University of Connecticut School of Law in 1982 after having spent her early adult years raising a family. In law school, she was one of only a few women returning to school with families. Carolyn worked hard to prove herself, even going so far as to study in her car where she was assured of quiet solitude, and graduated first in her class in 1985. She clerked for then Chief Justice Ellen A. Peters of the Connecticut Supreme Court and was hired at the state Attorney General's Office in 1986.
Carolyn loved working at the Attorney General's Office and was dedicated to the mission of the office. She became head of the special litigation department in the 1990s, becoming deputy attorney general in 2000 under Attorney General Richard Blumenthal. Carolyn handled many high profile cases before the state Supreme and Appellate Courts and Second Circuit and routinely testified before the General Assembly.
