Hartford Police Court Judge Vacancy Question in CT Supreme Court
A Hartford court contest debated whether the sitting judge may continue beyond the constitutional term, with arguments that vacancies may be filled by the legislature, while the governor has appointed and the relator seeks quo warranto to oust Walter H. Clark. The case hinges on whether temporary gubernatorial appointments violate the two year constitutional term for city police court judges and if the 1907 statute authorizing filling vacancies applies.
