Judge Michael A. Albis - Professional Background & Legal Expertise

Biography

Hon. Michael A. Albis is the assistant administrative judge for the Middlesex Judicial District Superior Court in Connecticut. He was appointed to the bench by former Governor Dannel Malloy in 2013.

During his judicial tenure, Albis has served as the Chief Administrative Judge of Family Matters for the Connecticut Judicial Branch since 2018. He is one of only four judges to hold the position of Chief Administrative Judge, the others serve in the Criminal, Civil, and Juvenile Divisions. He is also the presiding judge of Family Matters in the Middlesex Judicial District and was the former presiding judge of the Regional Family Trial Docket, which handles complex family matters referred by the state’s trial courts. Albis held previous assignments in the New Britain Judicial District (Criminal Matters) and the Hartford Judicial District (Family Matters).

Prior to joining the judiciary, he was a principal in the East Haven law firm of Hilcoff & Albis, LLC. His legal career also included serving as administrative judge of the New Haven Regional Children’s Probate Court (2011 to 2013), judge of the Probate Court for the District of East Haven (1999 to 2011), and assistant town attorney (1980 to 1985) and town attorney (1991 to 1997) for the Town of East Haven.

He also taught as an adjunct faculty member of Quinnipiac University.

Albis received a B.A. from Yale University in 1975. He went on to complete a J.D. at the University of Connecticut School of Law in 1978.

Albis was instrumental in the drafting of protocol used to determine the best way to proceed when cases involve the same child in both the Probate Court and the Family Division of the Superior Court. He also served on a committee that addressed issues created by the overlapping jurisdiction of the two courts in matters involving children.

Albis was appointed a member of the Connecticut General Assembly’s Task Force to Improve Access to Legal Counsel in Civil Matters in 2016 and was elected to the Board of Directors of the Connecticut Judges Association in 2018.

He is a native of East Haven, Connecticut.
