How the courts are organised

Connecticut has a single Superior Court divided into judicial districts, with separate dockets for civil, criminal, family and housing matters. Appeals go to the Appellate Court and then the Connecticut Supreme Court. Federal cases fall to the District of Connecticut, which sits in Hartford, New Haven and Bridgeport.

Points that shape Connecticut cases

— Attorneys are admitted by the Superior Court; the judicial branch publishes an attorney lookup with status and discipline.
— The state applies modified comparative negligence with a 51 percent bar.
— Marital property is divided equitably, and Connecticut is one of the states where a court may consider all property owned by either spouse, not only what was acquired during the marriage.
— Probate matters go to a separate system of probate courts rather than the Superior Court.
