Rule 71-1. Appellate Judgment Files

Judgments of the court may be embodied in judgment files, to be drawn upon request and signed by the appellate clerk. Unless the court otherwise directs, a judgment shall be deemed to have been rendered on the date an opinion or memorandum decision appears in the Connecticut Law Journal; except that if an opinion or decision is issued by slip opinion or by oral announcement from the bench, the judgment shall be deemed to have been rendered on the date that appears as the officially released date in the slip opinion or the date that the oral announcement is made. In the case of an order on, for example, a motion or petition, the order shall be deemed to have been made on the date that the appellate clerk issues notice of the order to the clerk of the trial court and to all counsel of record. Judgments or orders shall be entered as of the appropriate date.
