The law firm of Cohen and Wolf, P.C. is pleased to announce that on April 3, 2013, attorney Greta E. Solomon will be recognized for her work on the Probate Court Rules Advisory Committee, a group comprised of probate judges, court staff, attorneys and members of the public.

Between June, 2011 and September, 2012, the committee completed a comprehensive revision to the Connecticut Probate Practice Book (now known as the Probate Court Rules of Procedure). The probate court administrator submitted the proposed revision to the Connecticut Supreme Court for approval in October 2012. The Connecticut Supreme Court approved the rules on November 7, 2012, with an effective date of July 1, 2013. This project builds upon the improvements from the recent structural changes to the Probate Court system, further strengthening professionalism and fostering uniformity in the probate courts in Connecticut.
