The first of a series of Membership/Young Lawyer Networking Socials was held Oct. 23 at Krust in Middletown. Over 30 members gathered for an evening of conversation, camaraderie and food & drinks.
These free events are intended to bring members together in a casual setting, while encouraging young members and law students to learn more about the mission of CTLA and the benefits of membership from some of our more experienced members.
We hope to see you at the next event in Hartford on November 7!

We are pleased to announce the launch of an exciting new program: The Eviction Defense Pro Bono Initiative
Eviction in our state's poorest communities has reached the crisis level. Connecticut's largest cities have eviction rates that far exceed the national average. Families and individuals who cannot afford an attorney regularly go unrepresented due to a lack of resources in the legal aid service providers in our state. Fewer than one in five low-income individuals who qualify for services actually have access to a legal aid lawyer when faced with a legal problem. The rest are forced to represent themselves. In housing matters, the lack of representation stresses the entire system and those being evicted rarely achieve just results.
CTLA has teamed up with Connecticut Legal Services, Greater Hartford Legal Aid, New Haven Legal Assistance Association and Statewide Legal Services, who pledge their support to provide active mentoring from their lawyers and technical assistance on these eviction cases. Learn more about the program and the support that you will receive... Please consider joining us in this important effort.
