Former Stamford State Rep. Is A CT Superior Court Judge Nominee

STAMFORD, CT — Dan Fox, a former state representative for the 148th House District in Stamford, is one of 20 jurists nominated by Gov. Ned Lamont to serve as judges of the Connecticut Superior Court.

"Selecting nominees to become judges is one of the most important duties that I have as governor because these individuals will become responsible for ensuring that justice is administered fairly and without prejudice, and that everyone who comes before the court is treated equally and with respect," Lamont said in a news release last week. "Our court system works best when it reflects the diversity, experience, and understanding of the people it serves. These individuals I am nominating have the qualifications that meet the high standards the residents of Connecticut deserve on the bench. Justice delayed is justice denied, and these new judges will help ensure the judicial branch is able to decide cases promptly and efficiently."

Fox, 46, stepped down as a state representative in January. He was first elected to serve the district in 2011. He graduated from Loyola University and obtained his Juris Doctor degree from New England Law School.

He is currently a partner at Curtis, Brinckerhoff and Barrett, P.C., where he focuses on municipal law, civil litigation, estates and trusts, corporate law and real estate.

The court currently has 40 judicial vacancies. Additionally, Lamont is nominating two jurists to become family support magistrates.
