Lawyers Propose Civil Court Reforms For Docket Relief
Bridgeport Bar Association members approved recommendations to add ten base jammed dockets, hire more judges in Superior and Common Pleas courts, raise jurists’ salaries, and hold civil jury trials on Mondays. They rejected federal venire screening and backed immediate hearings in damages after pleadings when liability is admitted. A proposal for interest from suit filing in tort cases was sent back to the Rules committee for further study amid debate over costs. Senator Laden predicted possible passage in the next General Assembly.
