Encyclopedia : C : CO : CON : Connecticut Supreme Court

The Connecticut Supreme Court, formerly known as the Connecticut Supreme Court of Errors, is the highest court in the U.S. state of Connecticut. It consists of a Chief Justice and six Associate Justices. The seven justices sit in Hartford, across the street from the better known Connecticut State Capitol. Its sessions generally are eight per year, of about two or three weeks duration, with one session in each of the months of September through November and January through May.

The current Connecticut Supreme Court includes:

Justice David M. Borden
Justice Joette Katz
Justice Flemming L. Norcott, Jr.
Justice Richard N. Palmer
Chief Justice William J. Sullivan
Justice Christine S. Vertefeuille
Justice Peter T. Zarella

Perhaps the most important recent case the court has decided was the Kelo v. New London case, appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court. The state court sided with the city, with Justice Zarella writing a dissent.
