Supreme Court Seats May Stay Open Until January

One of Chief Justice Chase T. Rogers' proudest accomplishments is having Connecticut's high court sitting as a full en banc court of seven whenever possible.

Ethics Complaint Over Total Attorneys Referral Sites Could Have Wide Impact

A Connecticut-licensed attorney ensnared by a nationwide ethics complaint moved to dismiss his case last week after a six-and-a-half hour hearing before a state ethics commission. The decision on the motion could impact more than 550 lawyers in 47 states who have done or are doing business with Total Attorneys, which helps connect consumers to lawyers through Web sites.

"The Bar association is protecting the Bar association," she says of a proposal to require that the judges be admitted to the State Bar.

'Weak' Suit Not Vexatious

Disbarred attorney James S. Brewer, who last summer beat criminal assault charges arising out of a heated deposition, has won another legal victory, this time in a vexatious litigation suit brought by a company that he previously sued for a former client.

Linda M. Salafia has an enviable track record. In her 25 years as the judge of the Norwich Probate Court, only one of her rulings has ever been overturned on an appeal to Superior Court.
