Judge Ellen Bree Burns, the first woman to serve on the federal bench in Connecticut, is retiring after 37 years of overseeing cases in U.S. District Court. The New Haven-born 1947 graduate of Yale Law School has overseen many high-profile criminal cases including those of Martin Frankel, the Greenwich financier who stole $200 million from insurance companies, and former state NAACP leader Ben Andrews, who was involved in the kickback schemes of convicted former state Treasurer Paul Silvester.
