Connecticut State Supreme Court Chief Justice Chase T. Rogers has announced her retirement after a decade on the bench, effective Feb. 5.
Rogers has served as chief justice of the state Supreme Court since 2007. She first became a judge of the Superior Court in January 1998 and was sworn in as an Appellate Court judge in March 2006, according to Gov. Dannel P. Malloy.
Malloy called Rogers “a consummate jurist.”
“She brought a clear, forward-looking vision and an astute legal mind to the court. Among her many accomplishments, her tenure on the state’s highest court will be remembered for expanding transparency and access to justice, fostering a culture of inclusion in the judicial branch, and streamlining court processes,” he said in a statement.
Her legacy includes the Judicial Mentoring Program, which provides formal mentoring of new judges, and her establishment of a committee on judicial ethics.
Malloy said he will nominate a successor at a future date.
