Both these publications are available for purchase from the Commission on Official Legal Publications, 111 Phoenix Avenue, Enfield CT 06082.  Non-circulating copies of the Law Journal and the Regulations of Connecticut State Agencies are available for public reference use at Connecticut’s fifteen Judicial Branch Law Libraries and at the Connecticut State Library in Hartford.  Additionally, many state agencies have posted copies of their regulations on their agency websites in order to assist the public.  A list of state agency websites is available at www.ct.gov.
