Use a search engine ([AskJeeves.com](http://AskJeeves.com), for example) type in “Connecticut law”, and you’ll get a selection for where to look. [I imagine the moderator would have something to say about simple questions in this site.]

## Try this: “FindLaw” - type in the URL as follows: [www.findlaw.com/11stategov/ct/laws.html](http://www.findlaw.com/11stategov/ct/laws.html)

Was it you who asked the identical question on AOL/SDMB a couple of months ago?

Going to [http://www.google.com/](http://www.google.com/) I typed in “statutes connecticut” and got over 2,000 hits including the very first one:  
[http://www.cslnet.ctstateu.edu/statutes/](http://www.cslnet.ctstateu.edu/statutes/) .

And, as Jorge mentioned, the Straight Dope should generally be used for harder to find answers. A request for good search engines or good search methodology might be valid here (which is why Jorge and I included _where_ we searched and _what_ we sought), but you should generally do your own actual searching. This was a thirty-second effort.
