Television Appearances
NBC Connecticut: Grandparents’ Rights in Connecticut
Rich was featured on NBC Connecticut discussing one of the most painful gaps in Connecticut family law: the limited visitation rights of grandparents. He explained that unless a grandparent can demonstrate that denying visitation would cause real harm to the child, Connecticut courts defer to the parents’ wishes, a demanding standard that leaves many devoted grandparents without legal recourse when a family fractures.
WTNH News 8: This Week in Connecticut with Dennis House
Rich appeared on WTNH’s This Week in Connecticut with Dennis House to discuss grandparents’ visitation rights under Connecticut law and what families facing these disputes should understand about the legal standard and their options.
Teaching at Yale Law School
Each year, Rich is invited to deliver a guest lecture at Yale Law School in Professor Douglas NeJaime’s class. Rather than lecturing from a textbook, Rich brings a real case: a former client joins the class in person or by video to share their experience, and Rich walks the students through the legal strategy, the human dynamics, and the resolution. Students see how family law actually works, from divorce and custody disputes to adoption, and how client-centered lawyering changes outcomes.
