Conn. Practice Book § 2-55A
Retirement of Attorney—Permanent
(a) An attorney who is admitted to the bar in
the state of Connecticut and is not the subject of
any pending disciplinary investigation may submit
a written request on a form approved by the Office
of the Chief Court Administrator to the statewide
bar counsel for permanent retirement under this
section. Upon receipt of the request, the statewide
bar counsel shall review it and, if it is found that
the attorney is eligible for retirement under this
section, shall grant the request and notify the
attorney and the clerk for the judicial district of
Hartford. Retirement shall not constitute removal
from the bar or the roll of attorneys, but it shall
be noted on the roll of attorneys kept by the clerk
for the judicial district of Hartford. If granted, the
attorney shall no longer be eligible to practice
law as an attorney admitted in the state of Connecticut.
(b) An attorney who has retired pursuant to this
section shall thereafter be exempt from the registration requirements set forth in Sections 2-26 and
2-27 (d) and from payment of the client security
fund fee set forth in Section 2-70 (a).
(c) An attorney who has retired pursuant to this
section and thereafter wishes to be eligible to
practice law again in the state of Connecticut must
apply for admission to the bar pursuant to Section
2-8, 2-13 or 2-13A.
(d) Retirement pursuant to this section shall not
be a bar to the initiation, investigation and pursuit
of disciplinary complaints filed on or subsequent
to the date of retirement.
