Section 51-185 - Disposition of civil business at criminal sessions.
Each criminal session of the Superior Court may hear and determine both criminal and civil actions. At each criminal session, upon the conclusion of the criminal business before the court, or during a recess of the court in the disposition of criminal business, the presiding judge or, in the event of his disability for any cause, any other judge of the Superior Court upon the designation of the Chief Court Administrator or of the judges of the Superior Court may dispose of civil jury business before the same or another jury duly summoned, or, if the jury business is not ready, civil business to the court.
