Rowland to serve as a member of the Criminal Justice Commission, which hires all prosecutors for the State of Connecticut.  He was appointed by Chief Justice McDonald to the Civil Justice Commission, which oversees reforms to the Connecticut Civil Justice system.  Prior to founding the firm, Mr. Moore was a partner of Carmody & Torrance where he chaired that firm's plaintiffs practice.

He is an active lecturer in the field of trial practice.  He is a special master for the State Superior Courts and the Federal Courts and is an arbitrator for the Connecticut Superior Courts.

Mr. Moore limits his practice to civil trial advocacy in the State and Federal Courts, specifically negligence, malpractice, product liability, automobile collisions, construction accidents, and aviation disasters.  He was named in the Connecticut Magazine as one of the State's top lawyers in the personal injury field.
