The Connecticut Supreme Court, formerly known as the Connecticut Supreme Court of Errors, is the highest court in the U.S. state of Connecticut. It consists of a Chief Justice and six Associate Justices. The seven justices sit in Hartford, across the street from the Connecticut State Capitol. It generally holds eight sessions of two to three weeks per year, with one session each September through November and January through May. Justices are appointed by the governor and then approved by the Connecticut General Assembly. == Current and former justices == (詳細はChase T. Rogers〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Chief Justice Chase T.

They may continue to hear cases as Judge Trial Referees in the Superior Court or the Appellate Court. Justices may assume Senior Status before attaining age 70 and continue to sit with the Supreme Court, as needed. Multiple Justices have availed themselves of this option. For example, Justice Ellen Ash Peters took Senior Status in 1996, continuing to sit until 2000 and Justice Angelo Santaniello assumed senior status in 1987 and continued to sit as needed until 1994. Justice Armentano assumed Senior Status in 1983 but continued to sit with the Court as needed.〔http://www.cslib.org/memorials/armena.htm〕 Chief Justice Callahan assumed senior status in 1999 but served for approximately another year as a Senior Justice.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Chief Justice Callahan Announces Retirement )〕 Chief Justice Sullivan assumed senior status in 2006 but continued to sit until 2009.〔http://www.jud.ct.gov/external/supapp/justice9.html〕 Justice Vertefeuille assumed senior status in 2010 but has remained active with the Court.〔http://www.ctmirror.org/story/5282/vertu〕 In the event of a recusal or absence, a Judge of the Appellate or Superior Court may be called to sit with the Supreme Court.
