Attorneys are reminded that pursuant to Practice Book §2-28A(a)(3), a list of website domain names used by the attorney must be filed with the Statewide Grievance Committee quarterly on the first business day of January, April, July and October.
The filing must be done electronically through Judicial Branch E-Services, https://eservices.jud.ct.gov/login.aspx. The Committee does not accept other types of electronic filings (e.g. email, fax, etc.). The submitting attorney must use his or her personal juris number and not a firm juris number or other type when logging into E-Services and completing the electronic filing form. There is an online tutorial at the Committee’s website, www.jud.ct.gov/sgc/ to assist you with these filings. If you have not filed your list of website domain names as of January 2, 2008, please do so immediately. You are also reminded to file any non-exempt print or multi-media advertisements prior to or concurrently with their first dissemination. See Practice Book §2-28A(a) and (b).
Please bear in mind the following:
1. This rule does not apply to government or corporate attorneys whose employer maintains a website.
2. Only active website domain names need to be filed. If you have purchased a domain name but the website is “under construction” or you use the domain name only as part of an email address, you do not have to file the name with the Committee.
3. You do not need to fill out the form or file a statement to indicate that you do not use a website domain name.
4. Only one filing is necessary per firm, but each responsible attorney for the website must have his/her personal juris number listed on the electronic form. You can list multiple website addresses on one form.
5. You must file the list of website domain names each quarter regardless of whether you have made any changes to the website since the last filing.
6. If you have already filed your list of website domain names for January, you can ignore this email
Any questions may be addressed to the Statewide Grievance Committee in reply to this email or at
