Remembered as a trailblazer and someone who had incredible temperament on the bench, retired U.S. District Judge Ellen Bree Burns of the District of Connecticut died Monday afternoon in New Haven. She was 95 years old.
A Connecticut native, Burns was both the first female judge on the state Superior Court and the federal bench in Connecticut, when then-President Jimmy Carter appointed her to the post in 1978.
