Who we are
The
Statewide Grievance Committee is a body of twenty-one individuals,
comprised of fourteen attorneys and seven non-attorneys, appointed by
the judges of the Superior Court to review, investigate and adjudicate
attorney ethics matters. The Committee is assisted by the Statewide
Bar Counsel and Assistant Bar Counsel in performing duties and
responsibilities set forth by Superior Court rules and statutes to
assist the Superior Court in maintaining the integrity of the bar of
the State of Connecticut.
The primary function of
the Statewide Grievance Committee is the review and adjudication of
complaints alleging attorney misconduct. Additionally, the Statewide
Grievance Committee reviews reported overdrafts of attorneys' clients'
trust accounts and takes action where necessary. The Committee also
maintains the Roll of the more than 30,000 attorneys admitted to
practice in Connecticut, and enforces payment by attorneys to the
Client Security Fund. Apart from
the obligations to the Statewide Grievance Committee, the Statewide
Bar Counsel has additional duties as set forth in the Practice Book. Two other areas that the
Statewide Bar Counsel oversees are:
