DOCUMENT LIBRARY FORMAT

The document library format allows the user to view by reference any of several data fields. The fields provided describe the following: the plaintiff and defendant; the docket number, including case suffix; the judge; the filing date; up to three digest topics; and whether the decision has been reviewed by the Vermont Supreme Court.

The docket number typically consists of three numbers: a chronological number, the month in which the case was filed, and the year in which the case was filed. The suffix typically includes two letters indicating the county of filing, and two letters generally indicating subject matter.

TOPIC FIELDS

In June 2008, digesting was discontinued. Opinions posted up to then will continue to show up to three different topics per opinion. There is no digesting of more recent opinions.
