Conn. Practice Book § 67-11
Table of Authorities; Citation of Cases
(a) In the table of authorities, citations to state
cases shall be to the official reporter first, if available, followed by the regional reporter. Citations to
cases from jurisdictions having no official reporter
shall identify the court rendering the decision. Citations to opinions of the United States Supreme
Court shall be to the United States Reports, if
therein; otherwise, such citations shall be to the
Supreme Court Reporter, the Lawyer’s Edition, or
United States Law Week, in that order of preference.
(b) In the argument portion of a brief, citations to
Connecticut cases shall be to the official reporter
only. Citations to other state cases may be to either
the official reporter or the regional reporter. United
States Supreme Court cases should be cited as
they appear in the table of authorities.
(c) If a case is not available in print and is available on an electronic database, such as LEXIS,
Westlaw, or CaseBase, the case shall be cited to
that database. In the table of authorities, citations
to such cases shall include the case name; docket
number; name of the database and, if applicable,
numeric identifiers unique to the database; court
name; and full date of the disposition of the case.
Screen, page or paragraph numbers shall be preceded by an asterisk. In the argument portion of
a brief, such cases shall be cited only by name
and database. If such a case is published in a
print reporter after the filing of the party’s brief, but
prior to the case on appeal being orally argued or
submitted for decision on the record and briefs,
the party who cited the unreported case shall, by
letter, inform the chief clerk of the print citation of
that case.

Unofficial copy of government-published law, reproduced from official sources with full provenance. Not an official publication; verify against official sources before relying on it in a filing. Records in the 'guidance' corpus, and only that corpus, are sub-regulatory (interpretive guidelines, survey procedures) and are not binding law. Validity bounds follow each jurisdiction's declared temporalBasis.
