Attorney General Tong Congratulates Erik T. Lohr on Connecticut Superior Court Nomination
(Hartford, CT) – Attorney General William Tong released the following statement on the nomination of Associate Attorney General Erik T. Lohr to the Connecticut Superior Court bench.“Erik Lohr is a highly experienced attorney who has successfully supervised some of the most complex and sensitive cases and settlements in our office. He has earned the trust and respect of all of us here in the Office of the Attorney General, as well as attorneys across Connecticut. It will be hard to imagine our team without Erik. His institutional knowledge of state law and the work of our office—as well as his encyclopedic knowledge of submarine engineering—will be impossible to replace, but I know he will be a tremendous asset to our legal system. Congratulations Erik on this well-deserved nomination,” said Attorney General Tong.
Erik Lohr currently serves as the Associate Attorney General and Chief of the Division of Civil Litigation, where he leads the office in its defensive litigation work. Erik has served in the Office of the Attorney General since 2008, first as an Assistant Attorney General in its Child Protection Department, and then as the head of its Employment Rights Department. Prior to law school, Erik served as a Reactor Operator aboard a U.S. Navy fast attack nuclear submarine, and as a staff instructor at the Naval Nuclear Power Training Unit formerly located in Windsor, Connecticut. Erik is an honors graduate of the University of Connecticut School of Law, and has been an active member of its adjunct faculty for more than a decade, teaching at least one course every year since 2007. Immediately following law school, Erik was a Litigation Associate at Tyler, Cooper & Alcorn, LLP, in Hartford, Connecticut. From 2003 to 2008, Erik was a Connecticut state prosecutor (trial and appellate) in the Office of the Chief State's Attorney.
