Conn. Practice Book § 6-4
Signing of Judgment File
(a) Except as hereinafter provided, the judgment file, where it is necessary that it be prepared
pursuant to Section 6-3, shall be signed by the
clerk or assistant clerk unless otherwise ordered
by the judicial authority.
(b) In all actions involving dissolution of mar -
riage or civil union where counsel have appeared
for both the plaintiff and the defendant, unless the
judicial authority shall order otherwise, counsel
for the parties shall endorse their approval of the
judgment file immediately below the line for the
subscribing authority in the following words: ‘‘I
hereby certify that the foregoing judgment file conforms to the judgment entered by the court’’; the
clerk or assistant clerk, after ascertaining that the
terms of the judgment have been correctly incorporated into the judgment file, may sign any judgment file so endorsed.
(c) In those cases in which there is no provision
in this section for a clerk to sign a judgment file
and in which a case has been tried and judgment
has been directed in open court or by memorandum of decision and the trial judge shall die or
become incapacitated before the judgment file is
signed, any judge holding such court may examine the docket and file and, if it appears therefrom
that the issues have been definitely decided and
that the only thing remaining to be done is the
signing of the judgment file, the judgment file may
be drawn up by that judge or under that judge’s
direction and signed by him or her.
(d) Whenever a clerk or assistant clerk signs a
judgment file, the signer’s name shall be legibly
typed or printed beneath such signature.
