Greenwich Man Nominated to State Judgeship

Attorney Charles T. Lee of Greenwich is one of 15 lawyers from around the state who have been nominated by Gov. Dannel Malloy to fill vacancies in the state Superior Court system.

Lee is a partner with Anderson, Kill & Olick in Stamford, an insurance coverage legal firm.  Previously, he was a partner with McCarter & English as well as Paul Hastings Janofsky & Walker LLP.  He received his A.B. from Harvard College and his J.D. from Columbia Law School.

In a statement released by the governor's office, Lee said, “I am grateful to receive this judicial nomination from Governor Malloy.  I have had a fulfilling career in the private practice of law.  A judgeship is an honor and a public trust, and I will do my best to be worthy of it.”

The 15 Superior Court nominees will fill 30 vacancies on that court. Malloy said that he does not intend on filling the remaining 15 positions at this time.
