Who Is The Top Judge In Vermont?

The highest State court in Vermont is the Vermont Supreme Court and the Chief Justice is Rutland attorney Paul Rieber, at least as of December, 2019. (Some day he will retire). There are five members of the Vermont Supreme Court and a majority vote is needed to make a decision. There is usually a written opinion by the Court at the conclusion and their written opinions are published in a bound volume called Vermont Reports. They are also available online.

These cases go back to 1824 and can be considered precedent that lawyers and courts are supposed to follow. These opinions can change over time but it is rare that there is an outright complete reversal of a previous case, because of a legal concept called “stare decisis”.

If you believe you have an accident claim contact us for a fee evaluation – if we take your case, we don’t get paid unless we get money for you. Our law office reviews cases throughout the State of Vermont – in Manchester, Bennington, Rutland, Burlington, Woodstock, St. Albans, Brattleboro, Montpelier, Woodford, Springfield, Wilmington, the Northeast Kingdom and anywhere else where there is jurisdiction in the State of Vermont.
