Even though former Connecticut Secretary of the State Susan Bysiewicz left a corporate law job for a position in public service nearly 20 years ago, she claims she never stopped being a lawyer.
“The whole time I was secretary of state, I was practicing law on behalf of taxpayers, rather than for paying clients,” she said. Her career in public service came to an end last summer, when she lost a bid to be the Democratic nominee for the U.S, Senate seat eventually won by fellow Democrat Christopher Murphy.
