What Are Side Judges?

Side judges are elected judges who do not have to be lawyers.  This is a practice that goes back to early times in Vermont history.  Originally, legally qualified judges would come to Vermont from out-of-state to hear cases.  The side judges were elected to help evaluate facts for the outside judge who did not know the local territory.  In essence, they acted like jurors.  However, side judges in more modern times have limited legal authority and rarely sit in court.

We put our credentials and history of success (see the “In The News” page) up on our website for you to consider when deciding to hire a personal injury lawyer.  Winburn Law Offices limits its law practice to personal injury matters and provides information to legal consumers so that they can make their best decisions on their own.  We handle cases throughout the State of Vermont and have offices in Bennington, Vermont and Manchester, Vermont.
