Clark to Leave Bench for Governor’s Office.

That didn’t take long. Robert Clark was nominated to the Superior Court in April and confirmed by the legislature not long after that. The Durham resident will resign from the bench to serve as Governor-elect Ned Lamont’s legal counsel. Clark was a highly-regarded counsel to outgoing Attorney General George Jepsen, who serves as co-chair of Lamont’s transition team.

Clark earned a reputation as the AG’s office as a lawyer who could translate complex issues into manageable explanations for other government officials. Clark was state government’s expert on the intricacies of the tribal gaming issues, which will come in handy in the legislative session that begins on January 9th.
