The Connecticut Supreme Court
will hear oral arguments in State of Connecticut vs.
Michael Ross on Wednesday, Jan. 5, 2005, tentatively at 3
p.m. in the Supreme Court courtroom, which is located at 231
Capitol Ave. in Hartford. Because the justices of the Supreme
Court will be attending the General Assembly's Joint
Convention, the 3 p.m. start time will change if the Joint
Convention has not concluded by 3 p.m.
Seating will be on a
first-come, first-serve basis, and the courtroom will be
opened to the members of the news media and public at 2 p.m.
Please be advised that the Supreme Court courtroom has limited
seating.
In accordance with Section
70-10 of the Connecticut Practice Book, the Supreme
Court has granted permission for CT-N (The Connecticut
Network) to record the arguments for later broadcast. Members
of the broadcasting, televising, or recording media interested
in obtaining a clean, local pool feed should contact Bill
Mendoza at CT-N at (860) 240-8317 to make the necessary
arrangements.

Jan. 4, 2005, so that appropriate arrangements may be made.
