Ding Dong Dead Moskowitz
The death of Emily J. Moskowitz has reignited fierce debate over Connecticut’s family court system. Known both as a veteran attorney and a controversial guardian ad litem, Moskowitz was praised by the judiciary for her service and simultaneously condemned by critics as a symbol of unchecked power and judicial overreach. Central to this storm is the landmark Carrubba v. Moskowitz decision, which granted GALs absolute immunity—a legal shield that many argue enables abuse, corruption, and financial exploitation of families in crisis. As praise and scorn pour in, the battle over Moskowitz’s legacy continues to stir outrage and reflection across Connecticut.
