East Haven _ With energy prices soaring, a number of homeowners are trying to figure out how they will afford to heat their homes this winter.

Probate court administrator James J. Lawlor, who has been locked in trench warfare with the state's small-town probate judges for years, has lost his battle. He submitted his resignation Monday in a heavily detailed, five-page letter that outlined his attempts to reform the state's 117 probate courts, which have been targets of criticism for their cronyism and uneven performance.

Lawlor, 65, made numerous enemies among the elected judges because he tried to enact sweeping reforms that included more rigorous training for judges and staff, more financial auditing, additional oversight from the central office, and consolidation that could have cost some judges their jobs. State officials who spoke on an agreement of anonymity said Lawlor had been forced out of his job, which pays nearly $150,000 a year. One state official who saw Lawlor over the weekend said, 'He looked like he got punched in the gut.' Lawlor declined to discuss the details behind his departure. 'I've always recognized the fact that I'm temporary,' he said Monday. 'It's not a permanent job.'
