Meriden Resident Nominated As CT Superior Court Judge

MERIDEN, CT — A Meriden resident is among the 13 jurists nominated by Gov. Ned Lamont to serve as a judge of the Connecticut Superior Court.

Lamont announced Monday that he is forwarding to the Connecticut General Assembly the nominations of several jurists to serve in positions on Connecticut’s courts.

“Nominating judges to serve on our courts is one of the most important responsibilities of a governor, especially because judges are the final authority on the interpretation of the law and the constitution, and for ensuring that justice is administered fairly and without prejudice,” Lamont said in a statement.

“I am confident that these nominees each have the high standards and qualifications the people of Connecticut deserve to have serving for them on the bench.”

There are currently 22 judicial vacancies in the Superior Court and the 13 nominations Lamont is making to fill those positions include:

• Donald R. Green, 58, of Meriden: Magistrate Green graduated from Trinity College and obtained his Juris Doctor degree from the University of Connecticut School of Law. He is currently a family support magistrate and has served in this capacity for six years. He presides over cases involving adjudication of parentage, child support, modifications, and contempt petitions. He was formerly an assistant attorney general at the Connecticut Office of the Attorney General, where he served primarily in the Child Protection Department.
