A Superior Court judge ruled Wednesday that Secretary of the State Susan Bysiewicz is eligible to run for state attorney general.

Judge Michael R. Sheldon’s ruling sends Bysiewicz into the May 21-22 state Democratic nominating convention without the cloud of legal doubts that had been following her since she declared her candidacy for attorney general in January.

The doubts centered on whether Bysiewicz met the requirements of a state statute that says Connecticut’s attorney general must have engaged in the “active practice” of law for 10 years in the state.

The statute doesn’t define what “active practice” means — and Bysiewicz went to court for a judge’s ruling to clarify the question. Sheldon never said exactly what “active practice” means in his 93-page ruling, but at the end of it he wrote that “the plaintiff, as a Connecticut attorney-at-law since 1986 who performed the … duties of her office as Connecticut’s Secretary of the State since 1999, has engaged in active practice at the bar of this state, within the meaning of [the statute], for at least 10 years.”
