For nearly six months, public hearings at the CHRO were on hold because Governor Malloy did not reappoint the human rights referees. As a result, cases that had been pending at the CHRO went nowhere — fast.

However, that is changing. Two new human rights referees were appointed this month and a third will be on the way shortly. The new referees are:

• Alvin Wilson, who will serve as Chief Human Rights Referee. Most recently, Wilson served as Director of Operations under Governor Malloy and is a 1993 UConn Law School graduate. His LinkedIn profile is available here.

• Ellen Bromley. Bromley recently worked for the law firm of Benjamin & Gold. Prior to that, she worked for the City of Stamford as Social Services Coordinator. She is a 1980 Georgetown Law School graduate.
