Bill Summary · SJ 21

Legislative bill overview

This resolution confirms the nomination of Ingrid L. Moll of West Hartford to serve as a judge on both Connecticut's Appellate Court and Superior Court. The measure passed the Senate on March 26, 2026, following a favorable committee report and public hearing in February.

Why is this important

Judicial appointments significantly impact how laws are interpreted and applied in the state for years to come. This confirmation determines who will preside over appeals and trial cases affecting Connecticut residents' legal outcomes in civil, criminal, and family matters.

Potential points of contention

  • Judicial philosophy concerns: Without detailed background information, critics or supporters may question whether Moll's judicial approach aligns with their views on issues like criminal sentencing, civil liability, or constitutional interpretation
  • Dual appointment structure: Appointing one judge to both appellate and superior court positions simultaneously is unusual and may raise questions about workload management and potential conflicts
  • Limited public transparency: Consent calendar placement suggests minimal legislative debate; some may argue major judicial appointments warrant more thorough public scrutiny and discussion
