The Judicial Branch would like to announce that the Family Volunteer Attorney Program will resume in Hartford at Hartford Superior Court, 90 Washington Street in October. The program will begin on Wednesday, October 5, 2016 and run through Wednesday, June 21, 2017 on the first and third Wednesday of each month.
This program utilizes the services of volunteer attorneys to provide legal advice and assistance to self-represented parties who have or may be commencing domestic and/or family support magistrate cases.
Since 2010, Hartford’s Family Volunteer Attorney Program has assisted 2,354 self-represented parties in the area of family law. Family Volunteer Attorney Programs in the Waterbury and Stamford judicial districts have also been very successful in providing assistance to self-represented parties.
All of the Volunteer Attorney Programs work in cooperation with the Court Service Centers and the Judicial Branch law libraries to provide additional assistance to self-represented parties who might otherwise be unable to benefit from the assistance of counsel.
If you would like to volunteer, please complete the application which accompanies this notice and email it to Damon.Goldstein@jud.ct.gov or fax it to (860) 263-2773. If you have any questions about the program, please contact Damon Goldstein at Court Operations at 860-263-2734 or Damon.Goldstein@jud.ct.gov.

One of our most cherished national ideals, expressed eloquently by Abraham Lincoln, is “government of the people, by the people, for the people.” It is a principle enshrined in our Nation’s founding documents, from the Declaration of Independence’s assurance that governments derive their powers from the consent of the governed, to the opening three words of the Preamble to the U.S. Constitution, “We the People.”
The right to vote is the very foundation of government by the people. For this reason, striving to establish and protect every citizen’s right to vote has been a central theme of American legal and civic history. Much of the struggle on voting rights began decades ago, but the work is far from complete, and a citizen’s right to cast a ballot remains at risk today.
As we approach the 50th anniversaries of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965, the 2014 Law Day theme, American Democracy and the Rule of Law: Why Every Vote Matters, calls on every American to reflect on the importance of a citizen’s right to vote and the challenges we still face in ensuring that all Americans have the opportunity to participate in our democracy.
