Episode Details

Former Chief Justice Richard Robinsons move to a law firm handling a case he once oversaw in Connecticut courts has sparked an ethics clash. Robinson, who retired in 2024 and joined Day Pitney as counsel for John Clinton, now faces a disqualification push for potentially breaking rules on judges-turned-lawyers. The dispute has reached the state Supreme Court twice, with Robinsons involvement raising concerns about an insider edge on contract issues. Day Pitney argues Robinsons input was minimal and irrelevant, but opposing partners argue for harsh punishment like disqualification. The case is currently on hold as both sides negotiate a deal, with public access to filings limited.
