Connecticut judicial system
The highest court of Connecticut's judicial branch is the Connecticut Supreme Court, headed by the Chief Justice of Connecticut. The Supreme Court is responsible for deciding on the constitutionality of the law or cases as they relate to the law. Its proceedings are similar to those of the United States Supreme Court, with no testimony given by witnesses, and the lawyers of the two sides each present oral arguments no longer than thirty minutes. Following a court proceeding, the court may take several months to arrive at a judgment.
In 1818, the court became a separate entity, independent of the legislative and executive branches.

Although the Alliance has exhausted legal options, but says that it will continue the fight in the political field.[1]
