The Encyclopedia of Connecticut Causes of Action is a single volume desk reference which compiles, outlines and indexes theories of recovery under Connecticut law.

Organized into three sections: common law actions, statutory actions and administrative appeals, it also contains relevant statutes of limitation, and requisites for recovering attorneys' fees. The desk book contains notes on applicable procedure and rules, an extensive common word index, and tables of cases and statutes. The Encyclopedia of Connecticut Causes of Action is a quick reference to unfamiliar subjects and a starting point for analysis of any new matter. It is a welcome resource for firms without an extensive law library.
