| JUDICIAL CONDUCT BOARD | ||||
| Judges must follow high ethical standards established by the Supreme
Court in the Code of Judicial Conduct. The Judicial Conduct Board
investigates complaints of judicial misconduct or disability and
recommends any necessary action to the Vermont Supreme Court. Possible
disciplinary actions include public reprimand of the judge, suspension for
a part or the remainder of the judge's term of office, or retirement of
the judge if physically or mentally disabled. The Court does not impeach
judges. Only the General Assembly has the power to impeach.
The Supreme Court appoints the nine members of the board, and designates the chair and vice-chair. Three members are lawyers, three members are lay citizens and three members are judges.
Vermont Code of Judicial Conduct Members Include: Robert Gerety, Vice Chair Hon. Michael Kupersmith Hon. Helen Toor Hon. Howard Van Benthysen Steve Adler, Esq. Sharon Anderson Diane Derby Kathryn Fox
