Atty. Chris Bernard joins Connecticut Law Tribune Editorial Board

August 30, 2010

Atty. Chris Bernard has been named to the Editorial Board of the Connecticut Law Tribune, a publication that is distributed to over 3,000 attorneys, law firms and corporations throughout Connecticut.

The Connecticut Law Tribune’s Editorial Board is comprised of prominent lawyers from firms throughout the state. The Editorial Board helps set the paper’s direction and guides its policies. Members are responsible for writing four editorials every year, each of which is then peer-reviewed and voted on. At least ten votes are needed for approval of the editorial, which becomes the policy of the newspaper on the particular issue.

Chris joins 30 other members on the publication’s board. He will concentrate his writings primarily on medical negligence, his area of focus at Koskoff, Koskoff & Bieder. Chris will rely on his experience in multi-million dollar medical malpractice verdicts and settlements on behalf of grievously injured clients.

Chris is looking forward to writing for and working with his peers throughout Connecticut. He and his colleagues at Koskoff, Koskoff & Bieder currently receive the majority of their cases through other attorneys’ referrals.
