Boards and Committees
of the Vermont Supreme Court
Advisory Committee on Rules of Civil
Procedure
|
|
|

About
The Supreme Court promulgates rules of practice and
procedure for all state courts. The Supreme Court appoints
an advisory committee which reviews the operation and
effectiveness of the Rules of Civil and Appellate Procedure
and the District Court Civil Rules. The committee receives
proposals for changes in the rules and recommends to the
Supreme Court any necessary changes in these rules. Proposed
rules are circulated to the bar and public for comment and,
when required, the committee holds public hearings
concerning proposed rules or rules changes.
The ten members of the committee include seven lawyers, two
trial court judges and 1 superior court clerk appointed by
the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court designates the chair of
the committee. The Supreme Court also appoints a lawyer to
serve as reporter for the committee. The reporter revises or
drafts rules at the request of the committee or the Supreme
Court. The reporter's notes, which are published in the
Rules, explain the history and application of the Rules.
