A Maine Supreme Court member has been cleared of wrongdoing following accusations that she didn’t step away from cases she was involved with as a private attorney.

According to the Portland Press Herald, a panel of judges decided Thursday not to discipline Associate Justice Catherine Connors.

Before joining the court, she had represented banks and banking interests and did not recuse herself from two major foreclosure cases in 2024.

In their decision, the panel said she had not violated the court’s ethics rules.
