HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) — Connecticut Chief Justice Richard A. Robinson, a veteran jurist who served more than two decades on the bench, including six years as the state’s first Black chief justice, is retiring in September.
Democratic Gov. Ned Lamont announced Robinson’s planned departure on Tuesday, crediting him with improving public access to the courts and working to ensure equal access to the justice system.
“He is universally admired as a compassionate, thoughtful, and skillful jurist,” the Democratic governor said in a statement. “I’ve appreciated having him as a partner in state government, particularly during the challenging period at the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic when we worked to keep the critical functions of the courts operational.”
A Stamford native, Robinson, 66, worked as staff counsel and later assistant corporation counsel for his home city before being appointed as a Superior Court judge in 2000. He served in courts throughout Connecticut before being appointed to the Connecticut Appellate Court in 2007, and later to the State Supreme Court in 2013.
