Connecticut Gov. Ned Lamont on Thursday nominated state Supreme Court Justice Raheem L. Mullins to become the next chief justice, calling him a fair, sensible and empathetic jurist with experience serving in all three levels of the state court system.Lamont said he was optimistic of bipartisan legislative support for Mullins, who has been serving as an associate justice since 2017. Mullins was the youngest person ever appointed to the Connecticut Supreme Court at the time.
“I think a lot of people know Raheem, knows his background, knows he’s got the legal chops to get the job done, knows that he’s been on the Supreme Court for seven years plus now knows what he’s doing,” Lamont said. “And I think that earned a very positive response on both sides of the aisle.”Floods from ‘training thunderstorms’ lead to dramatic rescues and 2 deaths in ConnecticutState Sen.
He cited former Justice Lubbie Harper Jr. and Robinson as his legal mentors, noting how the court system will miss Robinson’s leadership and guidance. Mullins then joked how he would personally miss his long conversations with Robinson, “despite the massive, massive age difference between us.” Born in Middletown, Connecticut, Mullins earned a bachelor’s degree in sociology from Clark University in Worcester, Massachusetts, and earned a law degree from the Northeastern University School of Law in Boston. He clerked on the Massachusetts Appeals Court from 2004 to 2005, before being admitted to the U.S. Supreme Court bar and the Connecticut bar.
