A Shelton man is among 16 state residents nominated to serve as Superior Court judges by Gov. Dannel Malloy Friday (March 14).
The man, Kevin Russo, currently works as a prosecutor at Superior Court in Milford as a Supervisory Assistant State’s Attorney, a position he’s held since 2007.
“My appointment always will belong to this Governor, but the humility of it will always belong to me,” Russo said in a statement released by Malloy’s office. “I am committed to taking the confidence entrusted to me by this administration to serve justice, and pass it along to the people of this state who remain no different than I.”
Prior to his current job, Russo was an assistant state’s attorney. Prior to that, he served as a litigation associate with Cromody & Torrance, LLC, as a supervisor with Connecticut Legal Research, and worked with the Federal Bureau of Investigation, according to Malloy’s statement.
He also worked as a union ironworker for six years. He received his B.S. from Southern Connecticut State University and his J.D. from Western New England College School of Law.
