The law deals another setback to the widow of a Connecticut state court judge who reportedly worked himself to death

ADVERTISEMENTS
The law deals another setback to the widow of a Connecticut state court judge who reportedly worked himself to death: Today in The Hartford Courant, Lynne Tuohy has an article headlined "Ruling: Widow Can't Be Lone Beneficiary" that begins, "The state Supreme Court on Monday ruled that a state law passed 14 years ago to permit the widow of a workaholic judge to sue the state over his death was unconstitutional because it benefited her alone."

And The Associated Press provides a report headlined "Court: Widow can't pursue claim husband was worked to death."

You can access yesterday's ruling of the Supreme Court of Connecticut at this link.
