Bysiewicz Moves To Open Evidence To Allow DiNardo To Testify

by Ryan McKeen
Standing…standing…standing.
Bysiewicz lawyers have filed a motion to open evidence to allow Nancy DiNardo to testify on the limited issue of uncertainty in the Democratic Primary regarding Bysiewicz’s eligibility.
Her lawyers have informed the Court that testimony will last no more than 15 or 20 minutes.
The reason for this is to show that Bysiewicz has [...]

Why Connecticut’s Attorney General Must Have 10 Years Litigation Experience

by Ryan McKeen
For this post, I’m going to assume that the statute specifying the qualifications for Attorney General is constitutional. Maybe it is and maybe it isn’t.  That question will have to be decided by the Connecticut Supreme Court.
Here’s the relevant text of the statute:
The Attorney General shall be an elector of this state and [...]

Around The Links: CT’s Non-Violent Prison Population, Land Use Appeals, Bobbleheads, And More

by Ryan McKeen
-The majority (63%) of persons incarcerated in Connecticut are doing time for non-violent offenses. This amounts to 11,412 inmates.
-Connecticut now has uniform procedures for land use appeals. Having brought appeals in different courts, this is a very welcome development.  Procedures used to vary from court to court, which was confusing.
-Judging by the Judicial [...]

Bysiewicz Hearing Scheduled For Friday

by Ryan McKeen
A hearing is scheduled for 2:00 on Friday, March 5th in Bysiewicz v. DiNardo.
The judicial branch does not show appearances for either Nancy DiNardo or the Connecticut Democrats. Both parties have until Friday to file an appearance or risk being defaulted. Defendants commonly wait until the last minute to file appearances in a [...]

What Is A Declaratory Judgment in CT?

by Ryan McKeen
A declaratory judgment is an extraordinary remedy in Connecticut. Ordinarily Connecticut courts deal with events that have already happened. From crimes to car accidents….courts resolve conflicts for events that have already occurred or are ongoing. Courts usually hear cases where an actual loss has occurred.
On the other hand, a declaratory judgment is brought [...]

My Guess As To Bysiewicz’s Legal Strategy

by Ryan McKeen
It’s now being widely reported that Susan Bysiewicz will seek a declaratory judgment on her candidacy for attorney general.
This is just my guess. I may or may not be more accurate than the weatherman was last week. Here’s what I think she’ll do:
1. Hire Attorney Wesley Horton to represent her.  Horton was quoted [...]

by Ryan McKeen
Kevin Rennie is reporting that Susan Bysiewicz is going to seek a declaratory judgment on the issue as to whether or not she is qualified to be attorney general.
If she  opts to challenge the constitutionality of the Attorney General statute she’ll find herself squaring off against Attorney General Blumenthal.

Susan Bysiewicz Responds

Dear Attorney McKeen,
Thank you for the invitation to respond to your comments and questions.  While I’ll be the first to admit that this was not how I planned to spend my first few days as a candidate for Attorney General,  I believe the question was reasonable given the very vague wording of the statute.   I [...]

Is Susan Bysiewicz Legally Qualified To Serve As Attorney General?

by Ryan McKeen
I don’t know.  The truth is that in my opinion Susan Bysiewicz would make a fantastic anything she wants to do. She’s intelligent and hardworking. In the interest of full disclosure, I’m a Democrat and would have voted for Susan Bysiewicz for Governor. I am not involved with nor have I ever been [...]

Does Connecticut’s Attorney General Have To Be An Attorney?

by Ryan McKeen
I was asked this question last week and my response was “I think so, otherwise he or she would be a felon for engaging in the unauthorized practice of law!”
Yeah, I roll with an exciting crowd.
The question is actually kind of interesting because one does not have to be an attorney to be [...]
