                                      AND
                                    OFFICES

     Section 1.1.  Declaration of Trust. These By-Laws shall be subject to the
Declaration of Trust, as from time to time in effect (the "Declaration of
Trust"), of Nuveen Connecticut Dividend Advantage Municipal Fund, the
Massachusetts business trust established by the Declaration of Trust (the
"Trust").

     Section 1.2.  Registered Agent.  The registered agent of the Trust in the
Commonwealth of Massachusetts shall be CT Corporation System, 2 Oliver Street,
Boston, Massachusetts, or such other agent as may be fixed by the Board of
Trustees.

     Section 1.3.  Other Offices.  The Trust may have such other offices and
places of business within or without the Commonwealth of Massachusetts as the
Board of Trustees shall determine.

                                   ARTICLE II

                                  SHAREHOLDERS

     Section 2.1.  Place of Meetings.  Meetings of the Shareholders may be held
at such place or places within or without the Commonwealth of Massachusetts as
shall be fixed by the Board of Trustees and stated in the notice of the meeting.

     Section 2.2.  Regular Meeting.  Regular meetings of the Shareholders for
the election of Trustees and the transaction of such other business as may
properly come before the meeting shall be held on an annual or other less
frequent periodic basis at such date and time as the Board of Trustees by
resolution shall designate, except as otherwise required by applicable law.

                                      -2-

     Section 2.3.  Special Meeting.  Special meetings of the Shareholders for
any purpose or purposes may be called by the Chairman of the Board, the
President or two or more Trustees, and must be called at the written request
stating the purpose or purposes of the meeting, of Shareholders entitled to cast
at least l0 percent of all the votes entitled to be cast at the meeting.

     Section 2.4.  Notice of Meetings.  Notice stating the time and place of the
meeting and in the case of a special meeting the purpose or purposes thereof and
by whom called, shall be delivered to each Shareholder not less than ten nor
more than sixty days prior to the meeting, except where the meeting is an
adjourned meeting and the date, time and place of the meeting were announced at
the time of the adjournment.

     Section 2.5.  Quorum and Action.  (a) The holders of a majority of the
voting power of the shares of beneficial interest of the Trust (the "Shares")
entitled to vote at a meeting are a quorum for the transaction of business.  If
a quorum is present when a duly called or held meeting is convened, the
Shareholders present may continue to transact business until adjournment, even
though the withdrawal of a number of Shareholders originally present leaves less
than the proportion or number otherwise required for a quorum.  Notwithstanding
the foregoing, when the holders of Preferred Shares are entitled to elect any of
the Trust's Trustees by class vote of such holders, the holders of 33 1/3% of
the Shares entitled to vote at a meeting shall constitute a quorum for the
purpose of such an election.

     (b) The Shareholders shall take action by the affirmative vote of the
holders of a majority, except in the case of the election of Trustees which
shall only require a plurality, of the voting power of the Shares present and
entitled to vote at a meeting of Shareholders at which a quorum is present,
except as may be otherwise required by the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended (the "1940 Act"), the Declaration of Trust or any resolution of the
Trustees which authorizes the issuance of Preferred Shares.

     Section 2.6.  Voting.  At each meeting of the Shareholders, every holder
of Shares then entitled to vote may vote in person or by proxy and, except as
otherwise provided by the 1940 Act, the Declaration of Trust or any resolution
of the Trustees which authorizes the issuance of Preferred Shares, shall have
one vote for each Share registered in his name.

     Section 2.7.  Proxy Representation.  A Shareholder may cast or authorize
the casting of a vote by filing a written appointment of a proxy
<PAGE>

                                      -3-

with an officer of the Trust at or before the meeting at which the appointment
is to be effective. The placing of a Shareholder's name on a proxy pursuant to
telephonic or electronically transmitted instructions obtained pursuant to
procedures which are reasonably designed to verify that such instructions have
been authorized by such Shareholder, shall constitute execution of such proxy by
or on behalf of such Shareholder. The appointment of a proxy is valid for eleven
months, unless a longer period is expressly provided in the appointment. No
appointment is irrevocable unless the appointment is coupled with an interest in
the Shares or in the Trust. Any copy, facsimile telecommunication or other
reliable reproduction of a proxy may be substituted for or used in lieu of the
original proxy for any and all purposes for which the original proxy could be
used, provided that such copy, facsimile telecommunication or other reproduction
shall be a complete reproduction of the entire original proxy.

     Section 2.8.  Adjourned Meetings.  Any meeting of Shareholders may, by
announcement thereat, be adjourned to a designated time and place by the vote of
the holders of a majority of the Shares present and entitled to vote thereat
even though less than a quorum is so present.  An adjourned meeting may
reconvene as designed, and when a quorum is present any business may be
transacted which might have been transacted at the meeting as originally called.

     Section 2.9.  Action by Written Consent in Lieu of Meeting of Shareholders.
See Section 6.3 of these By-Laws.

                                  ARTICLE III

                                    TRUSTEES

     Section 3.1.  Qualifications and Number: Vacancies.  Each Trustee shall be
a natural person.  A Trustee need not be a Shareholder, a citizen of the United
States, or a resident of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.  The number of
Trustees of the Trust, their term and election and the filling of vacancies,
shall be as provided in the Declaration of Trust.

     Section 3.2.  Powers.  The business and affairs of the Trust shall be
managed under the direction of the Board of Trustees.  All powers of the Trust
may be exercised by or under the authority of the Board of Trustees, except
those conferred on or reserved to the Shareholders by statute, the Declaration
of Trust or these By-Laws.

                                      -4-

     Section 3.3.  Investment Policies.  It shall be the duty of the Board of
Trustees to ensure that the purchase, sale, retention and disposal of portfolio
securities and the other investment practices of the Trust are at all times
consistent with the investment objectives, policies and restrictions with
respect to securities investments and otherwise of the Trust filed from time to
time with the Securities and Exchange Commission and as required by the 1940
Act, unless such duty is delegated to an investment adviser pursuant to a
written contract, as provided in the Declaration of Trust.  The Trustees,
however, may delegate the duty of management of the assets of the Trust and may
delegate such other of their powers and duties to the Executive Committee or any
other committee, or to an individual or corporate investment adviser to act as
investment adviser or subadviser pursuant to a written contract.

     Section 3.4.  Meetings.  Regular meetings of the Trustees may be held
without notice at such times as the Trustees shall fix.  Special meetings of the
Trustees may be called by the Chairman of the Board or the President, and shall
be called at the written request of two or more Trustees. Unless waived by each
Trustee, three days' notice of special meetings shall be given to each Trustee
in person, by mail, by telephone, or by telegram or cable, or by any other means
that reasonably may be expected to provide similar notice. Notice of special
meetings need not state the purpose or purposes thereof. Meetings of the
Trustees may be held at any place within or outside the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts. A conference among Trustees by any means of communication through
which the Trustees may simultaneously hear each other during the conference
constitutes a meeting of the Trustees or of a committee of the Trustees, if the
notice requirements have been met (or waived) and if the number of Trustees
participating in the conference would be sufficient to constitute a quorum at
such meeting. Participation in such meeting by that means constitutes presence
in person at the meeting.

     Section 3.5.  Quorum and Action.  A majority of the Trustees currently
holding office, or in the case of a meeting of a committee of the Trustees, a
majority of the members of such committee, shall constitute a quorum for the
transaction of business at any meeting.  If a quorum is present when a duly
called or held meeting is convened, the Trustees present may continue to
transact business until adjournment, even though the withdrawal of a number of
Trustees originally present leaves less than the proportion or number otherwise
required for a quorum.  At any duly held meeting at which a quorum is present,
the affirmative vote of the majority of the Trustees present shall be the act of
the Trustees or the committee, as the case may be, on any question, except where
the act
<PAGE>

                                      -5-

of a greater number is required by these By-Laws or by the Declaration
of Trust.

     Section 3.6.  Action by Written Consent in Lieu of Meetings of Trustees.
See Section 6.3 of these By-Laws.

     Section 3.7.  Committees.  The Trustees, by resolution adopted by the
affirmative vote of a majority of the Trustees, may designate from their members
an Executive Committee, an Audit Committee (whose function shall be to advise
the Trustees as to the selection of and review of the work of the independent
public accountants of the Trust) and any other committee or committees, each
such committee to consist of two or more Trustees and to have such powers and
authority (to the extent permitted by law) as may be provided in such
resolution.  Any such committee may be terminated at any time by the affirmative
vote of a majority of the Trustees.

                                   ARTICLE IV

                                    OFFICERS

     Section 4.1.  Number and Qualifications.  The officers of the Trust shall
include a Chairman of the Board, a President, a Controller, one or more Vice
Presidents (one of whom may be designated Executive Vice President), a
Treasurer, and a Secretary.  Any two or more offices may be held by the same
person.  Unless otherwise determined by the Trustees, each officer shall be
appointed by the Trustees for a term which shall continue until the meeting of
the Trustees following the next regular meeting of Shareholders and until his
successor shall have been duly elected and qualified, or until his death, or
until he shall have resigned or have been removed, as hereinafter provided in
these By-Laws. The Trustees may from time to time elect, or delegate to the
Chairman of the Board or the President, or both, the power to appoint, such
officers (including one or more Assistant Vice Presidents, one or more Assistant
Treasurers and one or more Assistant Secretaries) and such agents as may be
necessary or desirable for the business of the Trust. Such other officers shall
hold office for such terms as may be prescribed by the Trustees or by the
appointing authority.

     Section 4.2.  Resignations.  Any officer of the Trust may resign at any
time by giving written notice of his resignation to the Trustees, the Chairman
of the Board, the President or the Secretary.  Any such resignation shall take
effect at the time specified therein or, if the time when it shall become
effective shall not be specified therein, immediately
<PAGE>

                                      -6-

upon its receipt, and, unless otherwise specified therein, the acceptance of
such resignation shall not be necessary to make it effective.

     Section 4.3.  Removal.  An officer may be removed at any time, with or
without cause, by a resolution approved by the affirmative vote of a majority of
the Trustees present at a duly convened meeting of the Trustees.

     Section 4.4.  Vacancies.  A vacancy in any office because of death,

     by the Declaration of Trust or By-Laws or by the Trustees to some other
     officer or agent of the Trust; and

          (e) maintain records of and, whenever necessary, certify all
     proceedings of the Trustees and the Shareholders.

     The Chairman of the Board shall be authorized to do or cause to be done all
things necessary or appropriate, including preparation, execution and filing of
any documents, to effectuate the registration from time to time of the Common

                                     SHARES

     Section 5.1.  Share Certificates.  Each owner of Common Shares of the Trust
shall be entitled upon request to have a certificate, in such form as shall be
approved by the Trustees, representing the number of Common Shares of the Trust
owned by him.  Certificates representing fractional Common Shares shall not be
issued.  The certificates representing Common Shares shall be signed in the name
of the Trust by the Chairman of the Board, the President, the Executive Vice
President or a Vice President and by the Secretary, an Assistant Secretary, the
Treasurer or an Assistant Treasurer (which signatures may be either manual or
facsimile, engraved or printed).  In case any officer who shall have signed such
certificate shall have ceased to be such officer before such certificates shall

if such officer were still in office at the date of their issuance.  No
certificates representing Preferred Shares shall be issued except as the
Trustees may otherwise authorize.

     Section 5.2.  Books and Records; Inspection.  The Trust shall keep at its
principal executive office, or at another place or places within the United

thereunto authorized by power of attorney duly executed and filed with an
officer of the Trust, or with a transfer agent or a registrar and on surrender
of any certificate or certificates for such Shares properly endorsed and the
payment of all taxes thereon.  Except as may be otherwise provided by law or
these By-Laws, the person in whose name Shares stand on the books of the Trust
shall be deemed the owner thereof for all purposes as regards the Trust;
provided that whenever any transfer of Shares shall be made for collateral
security, and not absolutely, such fact, if known to an officer of the Trust,
shall be so expressed in the entry of transfer.

which the owner thereof shall allege to have been lost or destroyed or which
shall have been mutilated, and the Trustees may, in their discretion, require
such owner or his legal representatives to give to the Trust a bond in such sum,
limited or unlimited, and in such form and with such surety or sureties as the
Trustees in their absolute discretion shall determine, to indemnify the Trust
against any claim that may be made against it on account of the alleged loss or
destruction of any such certificate, or the issuance of a new certificate.
Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustees, in their absolute
discretion, may refuse to issue any such new certificate, except as otherwise
required by law.

     Section 5.6.  Record Date; Certification of Beneficial Owner.  (a) The
Trustees may fix a date not more than sixty (60) days before the date of a
meeting of Shareholders as the date for the determination of the holders of
Shares entitled to notice of and entitled to vote at the meeting or any
adjournment thereof.

     (b) The Trustees may fix a date for determining Shareholders entitled to
receive payment of any dividend or distribution or allotment of any rights or
entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion or exchange
of Shares.

     (c) In the absence of such fixed record date, (i) the date for
determination of Shareholders entitled to notice of and entitled to vote at a
meeting of Shareholders shall be the later of the close of business on the day
on which notice of the meeting is mailed or the thirtieth day before the
meeting, and (ii) the date for determining Shareholders entitled to receive
payment of any dividend or distribution or an allotment of any rights or
entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any change,

Trustees present may establish a procedure whereby a Shareholder may certify in
writing to the Trust that all or a portion of the Shares registered in the name
of the Shareholder are held for the account of one or more beneficial owners.
Upon receipt by the Trust of the writing, the persons specified as beneficial
owners, rather than the actual Shareholders, are deemed the Shareholders for the
purposes specified in the writing.

require Shareholder approval and which is required or permitted to be taken at a
meeting of the Trustees or a Committee of the Trustees may be taken by written
action signed by the number of Trustees that would be required to take the same
action at a meeting of the Trustees or Committee, as the case may be, at which

     Section 6.4.  Reports to Shareholders.  The books of account of the Trust
shall be examined by an independent firm of public accountants at the close of
each annual period of the Trust and at such other times, if any, as may be
directed by the Trustees.  A report to the Shareholders based upon such
examination shall be mailed to each Shareholder of the Trust of record at his
address as the same appears on the books of the Trust.  Each such report shall
show the assets and liabilities of the Trust as of the annual or other period
covered by the report and the securities in which the funds of the Trust were
then invested; such report shall also show the Trust's income and expenses for
the period from the end of the Trust's preceding fiscal year to the close of the
annual or other period covered by the report and any other information required
by the 1940 Act, and shall set forth such other matters as the Trustees or such

Trust. The Trust shall upon the resignation or inability to serve of the
