Connecticut Law Tribune

After 22 years, CT Law Tribune reporter Tom Scheffey is leaving the weekly paper. He hopes to stay involved in Connecticut news; his work will be missed.

I appreciate this chance to say farewell to my Law Tribune readership, and to explain a bit about myself after all these years. After some 8,000 bylined stories, I’ve seldom used the first person singular except in a direct quote. As I look back over my journey so far, interesting and coherent themes emerge. Throughout, I’ve been fighting the powerful human tendency to slip toward murk: striving for clearer expression, fair notice, open records and government accountability.
