Purpose
The Judicial Branch is committed to supporting and
participating in public education programs designed to enhance understanding
of the justice system.
The Speakers Bureau maintains a panel of Judges and
other court officials interested in speaking to community audiences on a
wide range of court-related topics. Additionally, court personnel are available to
discuss with community groups how to access the Judicial Branch’s Americans with
Disabilities programs and services.
The Speakers Bureau was created to help
judges around the state share their areas of expertise with you. The range
of topics, which our speakers are available to address, reflect the
diversity of the Connecticut Judiciary.
