Encyclopedia of Connecticut Causes of Action compiles all of the civil causes of action in Connecticut in one place. Common law actions, statutory actions and administrative appeals (which function in a similar manner to civil actions) are divided into separate parts for ease of identification. Also included is a separate section for the numerous miscellaneous statutory proceedings in Connecticut that share many, but not all, of the characteristics of civil actions. (Family and juvenile proceedings have been omitted.)

Encyclopedia of Connecticut Causes of Action:

• is cited to by the Connecticut state appellate courts

• is a single volume desk reference which compiles, outlines and indexes all theories of recovery under Connecticut law

• is organized into three easy to search sections: common law actions, statutory actions and administrative appeals
