As Connecticut reported it’s first known COVID-19 cases over the weekend, it is becoming apparent that the time for preparation for a pandemic is starting to end, and the time for action items is beginning.
To that end, it seems that nearly every lawfirm is starting to compile answers to some frequently asked questions.

Last night, I had the opportunity to attend a terrific little CLE program at the Hartford County Bar Association about practicing before administrative agencies in the state. And while the discussion regarding the Department of Children and Family Services wasn’t exactly helpful for my own practice, a short presentation by Charles Krich of the Commission

Earlier this week, I made my long-awaited (ok, long-awaited by ME) return on WNPR’s ever-popular “Where We Live” show.
As always, I’m thankful for the invite.

Earlier this week, the Judiciary Committee (by a 25-16 vote) approved of Senate Bill 132, being labelled by it’s proponents as the “Time’s Up” bill but covers both harassment and discrimination cases. I covered an announcement of this a while back.
As the bill moves closer to consideration now to the state Senate, it’s
