There are approximately 21,000 active licensed attorneys in Connecticut - practicing within the private and public sectors. Most, if not all of them are specialized in niche topics - which is barely surprising considering that the state has some of the most intricately complicated legal systems. This is partially due to the fact that its constitution is one of the oldest in all of US, and also because of its history with native tribes as well as other issues such as the legalization of marijuana. The state has several low cost and pro bono organizations that offer legal aid - such as CT Free Legal Answers, as well as programs such as Lawyers in Libraries program and the Bankruptcy Pro Bono Program.
