In 2019-20, Paul was President of the Connecticut Trial Lawyers Association, a bar association of more than 1,300 members. In that role, he worked closely with the Connecticut legislative and judicial branches to navigate the unprecedented impact of the pandemic on Connecticut’s justice system.

The Connecticut legislature and the Judicial Branch have each appointed Paul to committees studying potential improvements in the state’s laws. Paul received his undergraduate degree from the University of Michigan and his law degree from the University of Michigan Law School.
