Who Is The Top Judge?

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 in Vermont, we would be pleased to speak to you and further advise you as to the merit of your case.  We handle cases from Bennington to St. Albans, Vermont, the Northeast Kingdom to Brattleboro and all points in between.
