Mike Lawlor Biography

Mike Lawlor is one of the most popular and richest Lawyer who was born on December 30, 1956 in New Haven, United States. In 1979, he was an honors scholar in Slavic and Eastern European Studies at the University of Connecticut. In 1981, he received a Master’s degree in Soviet Area Studies at the University of London. He also graduated in 1983 from George Washington University School of Law. He also took part in language study in Russia in 1977, and was awarded a Fulbright Hays Scholarship to study economic reforms in Hungary in 1982.

He was one of ten legislators who were part of the Select Committee of Inquiry that examined the possibility of John G. Rowland being impeached. Following the hearings, Rowland resigned June 21, 2004.

In testimony before the Judiciary Committee at an emergency meeting convened by Lawlor in October, Department of Corrections Commissioner Teresa Lantz concurred with Governor Rell, testifying that her department does not need nor is requesting additional staff or new prisons Lawlor announced that he disagrees with Rell and Lantz, saying that the state should look into building a new prison, adding beds to existing facilities, or hiring more staff. Nonetheless, on December 12, 2007 he was quoted by the Associated Press as stating “Connecticut has a criminal justice system that already works pretty well.”

Governor M. Jodi Rell announced on September 21, 2007 that there would be a moratorium on further parole of violent offenders. This occurred after a parolee with two prior kidnapping convictions carjacked a vehicle in Hartford and was later shot in a confrontation with New York City police. Lawlor supported her decision for a moratorium on parole and acknowledged this would require prompt efforts to expand prison space. He urged Governor Rell to explore the state’s options for either expanding existing prisons, building new prisons, or sending prisoners out of state. The governor in response refused to do so, saying that new additional prison space is not necessary and reiterated her opposition to sending prisoners out of state. Ironically, this placed Rell in the same position Lawlor had long held, as he had opposed sending Connecticut prisoners to Virginia prisons to ease overcrowding.

Lawlor was the co-chairman for the General Assembly’s Judiciary Committee between 1995 and 2011. Lawlor was previously co-chairman, 1995 to 2011, of the General Assembly’s Judiciary Committee.

Lawlor graduated from law school and was appointed as a New Haven State’s Attorney Office prosecutor. He served there until his election to Connecticut House of Representatives, in 1986.

Inmates were transferred to Virginia prisons in the late 1990s by Connecticut in an attempt to address prison overcrowding. Rep. Lawlor strongly opposed the effort. He told The Hartford Courant that “this policy is more trouble-than it’s worth” and that he would “bring them back as quickly as possible.” According to the New York Times, Lawlor supported replacing Virginia’s facilities with “alternative methods of combating overcrowding,” such as making it more difficult for people to be sent back into prison for technical violations of their parole. He also suggested that transfers should only be used in extreme cases.

During the 2005 session of the legislature, Lawlor was one of the leaders in enacting Connecticut’s civil unions law, which provided full state legal recognition to same sex couples who wish to be treated as married couples under the state’s law. Connecticut was the first state to enact a civil union or same sex marriage law without a court order to do so.
