Stratford Resident Nominated For Judgeship

STRATFORD, CT — A Stratford resident is among the latest round of nominees to fill vacancies for judgeships on the Connecticut Superior Court, Gov. Dannel P. Malloy announced on Thursday. The announcement of five new nominees comes in addition to the 11 nominations Malloy made on Tuesday.

While these nominations represent only a fraction of the 42 vacancies that currently exist in the Superior Court, these judges will provide critical judicial capacity in performing the essential duties of the court system, Malloy said in a statement.

In addition to those announced so far this week, Malloy intends to make further judicial nominations for the Superior Court in the coming days.

Malloy’s nominations for the Superior Court include:
