  • Commentary

    State's Teen Criminal Cases Belong in Juvenile Court

    Connecticut Law Tribune Editorial Board | April 20, 2018

    At 14, children cannot drive, buy alcohol or cigarettes, cannot vote and cannot be employed by grocery stores. They certainly shouldn’t be exposed to lifelong adult felony convictions.

  • Commentary

    Salary Options Limited for Retired Teachers Returning to Work

    Connecticut Law Tribune Editorial Board | April 06, 2018

    Those who have retired from a public school position may only be re-employed in a public school at a salary of no more than 45 percent of the maximum salary level for the position.

  • Commentary

    MCLEs in Connecticut: Better Late Than Never

    Connecticut Editorial Board | March 30, 2018

    The Superior Court Rules Committee adopted MCLE in June 2016 to be effective Jan. 1, 2017, and its implementation in the intervening year has demonstrated unequivocally that the fear of—and opposition to—MCLE was completely unwarranted.

  • Commentary

    Reversal of Bite-Mark Murder Conviction Mandates Hard Look at Forensic Evidence

    Connecticut Law Tribune Editorial Board | March 16, 2018

    Courts may not be able to foresee how science will change, but they can—and should—limit forensic experts from overstating the probative value of their opinions.

  • Commentary

    Challenging Premise That McDonald Should Have Recused in ‘Santiago’

    Wesley Horton | March 06, 2018

    Andrew McDonald is a centrist justice with whom all legislators should be very comfortable.

  • Commentary

    Examining Judiciary Committee's Examination of Justice Andrew McDonald

    Connecticut Editorial Board | March 06, 2018

    The nomination of Justice Andrew McDonald to become our state Supreme Court’s next chief justice has caused quite the legislative stir.

  • Commentary

    Standing Up for Another Appropriate Supreme Court Appointment

    Connecticut Editorial Board | March 06, 2018

    An independent judiciary is paramount to a free society. We call on our legislators, once again, to approve the nomination of Justice Andrew McDonald because he is qualified to do the job as chief justice. That's really the only relevant question.

  • Commentary

    In Support of Andrew McDonald

    Robert Mitchell | February 28, 2018

    Over the last few days Connecticut has been subjected to a disreputable effort by some Republicans and so-called conservatives to transplant the vicious, unreasoning politics of Washington, D.C., to Hartford.

  • Commentary

    1 More Civil War Statue for Forgotten Hero

    Connecticut Editorial Board | February 22, 2018

    Mississippi should commission the creation of a new statue to recognize a real state hero, Hiram Robles Revels, to be placed in the National Statuary Hall as the first black U.S. senator to serve.

  • Commentary

    How Do We Maintain Financial Order in the Court?

    Connecticut Editorial Board | February 09, 2018

    As Connecticut continues its financial convulsions, nary a word has been uttered about attempting to make the operation of the judicial branch more efficient.

    Immunity for Gun Makers Impedes Needed Reforms

    Editorial Board | February 02, 2018

    Last year saw the most mass killings in the United States since USA Today began tracking them in 2006.

  • Commentary

    SCOTUS Missed Its Mark in 'Murr v. Wisconsin'

    Editorial Board | February 01, 2018

    Last term in "Murr v. Wisconsin," the U.S. Supreme Court attempted, without real success, to answer the question of what is the relevant parcel or total property interest to be considered in weighing whether a regulation affecting part of it has gone “too far” so as to effect a compensable taking under the Fifth Amendment.

  • Commentary

    Support Yale Law Volunteers Advocating for Asylum Seekers

    Connecticut Editorial Board | January 18, 2018

    In the spring of 2016 four Yale law students founded an organization to respond to the unmet legal needs of Central American refugee families fleeing…

  • Commentary

    Danger of Normalized Malignancy: Attorneys Must Speak Out

    Connecticut Editorial Board | January 11, 2018

    We, as lawyers, have a heightened duty to speak out about aberrant presidential behavior that threatens to erode our very democracy.

  • Commentary

    Our Hopes and Wishes for the New Year

    The Editorial Board | January 05, 2018

    The collective wishes from the editorial board of the Connecticut Law Tribune for all our readers in 2018.

  • Viewpoint: Fed Approval Not Needed for State's 3rd Tribal Casino

    TRIBUNE EDITORIAL BOARD | November 21, 2017

    MGM is using lots of resources to ensure that any profits from casino gambling in our corner of the country go into its pockets rather than to Connecticut tribes and taxpayers. The power of their opposition shouldn’t mean that we accept specious legal arguments.

  • Politicians Foolishly Suggest Abandoning Rule of Law

    CLT Editorial Board | November 21, 2017

    If we mean what we say about our love for our country and its freedoms, then we must do our best to insist on these American rights, especially for those who hurt us.

  • Commentary

    Viewpoint: A Solution In Search of a Problem

    Connecticut Law Tribune Editorial Board | November 10, 2017

    The Rules Committee of the Superior Court will consider a proposed amendment to Rule 1.11 of the Rules of Professional Conduct at its Nov. 16, meeting.…

  • Cake Bakers Are Subject To Antidiscrimination Laws

    Connecticut Editorial Board | October 27, 2017

  • State-Subsidized Segregation in Connecticut

    Connecticut Law Tribune Editorial Board | September 27, 2017

    Most of Connecticut is a great place to live and raise children.

  • The Importance of Dissent

    EDITORIAL BOARD | September 22, 2017

    Not long ago, there was a widely televised meeting of all President Trump's cabinet ministers and the highest-ranking staff of the White House. One by one they each heaped lavish praise and adulation on him as if he were some sort of "Supreme Leader." Some went so far as to express profound gratitude for the "blessings" associated with serving him. While an attitude of sheepish subservience might be expected in dictatorial regimes such as North Korea, it was disturbing at best to watch it on display within the upper echelons of the leadership in this country. Perhaps most troublesome is the total lack of regard for the importance of dissent.

  • A Classic Second-Chance Story

    EDITORIAL BOARD | September 14, 2017

    The Connecticut Bar Examining Committee temporarily denied admission to Reginald Dwayne Betts based on a prior felony conviction, pursuant to bar committee regulations that require a review in such situations. We believe that once the committee reviews the unparalleled array of Betts' post-conviction achievements, it will easily conclude that there is overwhelming evidence of good moral character and/or fitness to practice law.

  • David vs. Goliath Battle Results in Step Forward for Open Government

    EDITORIAL BOARD | August 11, 2017

    Before this challenge, lawyers and clients have broadly used the privilege to make more things disappear than has David Copperfield, the famed illusionist.
