Windsor Resident Tapped For Connecticut Superior Court Bench

WINDSOR, CT — A Windsor attorney who has spent more than a decade representing Connecticut in financial and regulatory cases has been nominated by Gov. Ned Lamont to serve on the Connecticut Superior Court.

Patrick T. Ring, 48, of Windsor, is one of 14 individuals Lamont announced Monday as nominees to fill vacancies on the state’s trial court.

Lamont said selecting judicial nominees is one of the most significant responsibilities of a governor and emphasized the qualifications of the group.

“Selecting nominees to become judges is one of the most important duties of a governor, and this class of nominees have the qualifications and meet the high standards the people of Connecticut deserve on the bench,” Lamont said.

The nominations have been forwarded to the Connecticut General Assembly, which must review and confirm the candidates.

Ring currently works as an assistant attorney general in the Connecticut Office of the Attorney General, serving in the Financial and Revenue Services section. He has held that role for more than 16 years, representing the state and several agencies in court on matters involving banking, securities, insurance, taxation and consumer financial protection.

Before joining the attorney general’s office, Ring began his legal career as a law clerk to the Honorable Dominic J. Squatrito, a judge on the U.S. District Court in Hartford.

He graduated from the University of Dallas in Irving, Texas, and earned his law degree from Quinnipiac University School of Law.

Lamont nominated 14 individuals in total to fill 20 current vacancies on the Connecticut Superior Court. The nominees will now undergo legislative review before any confirmation votes.
