North Haven Resident Nominated As CT Superior Court Judge

NORTH HAVEN, CT — A North Haven 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:

• Jesse Giddings, 43, of North Haven: Giddings graduated from the University of Maryland, College Park and obtained his Juris Doctor degree from Roger Williams University School of Law. He is currently a supervisory assistant state’s attorney in the Hartford State’s Attorney Office. Prior to that, he served as an assistant state’s attorney in Hartford, focusing primarily on the prosecution of serious felony cases.
