Riley, the resolution contributes to the continuity and stability of the judiciary in Connecticut.

Summary

House Joint Resolution No. 118, introduced during the February Session of 2022, focuses on the confirmation of John F. Riley, Esquire, as a Judge of the Superior Court. The resolution specifies the appointment of Riley for a term of eight years, succeeding the Honorable William Wenzel. This type of legislative resolution is typical when confirming judicial nominations made by the governor and demonstrates the collaborative function between the executive and legislative branches in state governance.

In this case, there is no record of dissenting votes, suggesting that John F. Riley's qualifications were widely accepted by members of the legislature. The absence of contention may also point to a well-established nominee with legal experience deemed fitting for the responsibilities of the Superior Court.
