Any Connecticut-licensed attorney may appear in any Superior Court.

What happens at this courthouse.
- Service and return date. A marshal serves the complaint, and the lender’s attorney normally records a lis pendens with the town clerk (C.G.S. § 52-325). The return date printed on the summons is the day the case officially begins at 14 West River Street; file an Appearance on or before the second day after it (Practice Book § 3-2); you do not appear in court that day.
- Mediation notice. If the property is your primary residence, you may be eligible for the Foreclosure Mediation Program. Requests are filed with the clerk here and sessions are held in this building. The program currently covers cases with return dates through June 30, 2029 (C.G.S. §§ 49-31l, 49-31v), and the General Assembly has extended it several times; check the Judicial Branch program page or ask counsel about eligibility.
- Motions and judgment. The lender moves for default and then for judgment. A judge at this courthouse decides whether the judgment is strict foreclosure (title passes to the lender on a set date, no auction) or foreclosure by sale (a committee auctions the property and the court approves the result). A sale is ordered only on a party’s motion and at the court’s discretion; equity in the property is the usual consideration.
- Law days or sale. Under strict foreclosure each defendant is given a law day to redeem by paying the debt in full; if nobody redeems, title vests in the lender. Under a decree of sale, the auction is held on the property and the sale is confirmed by this court. A deficiency claim, if any, is heard here afterwards.

Questions about the Ansonia-Milford Judicial District.
Why is my Shelton foreclosure in a New Haven County court?
Judicial districts do not follow county lines. Shelton has been assigned to the Ansonia-Milford district by statute, so its civil cases, including foreclosures, are heard in Milford even though Shelton is in Fairfield County.
Is there a courthouse in Ansonia?
There is a Geographical Area court in Derby for criminal and motor-vehicle matters. Foreclosures and other civil cases from the Valley towns are filed at the judicial district courthouse in Milford.
Where is mediation held for Milford-district cases?
At the Milford courthouse. Your mediation notice from the Judicial Branch will name the mediator and the date.
