Vermont Access to Justice Coalition

The Vermont Access to Justice Coalition was established in 2004 by the Vermont Supreme Court. The Coalition is a joint venture of the Vermont Supreme Court, Legal Services Vermont, Vermont Bar Association, Vermont Bar Foundation, Vermont Law and Graduate School (including South Royalton Legal Clinic), and Vermont Legal Aid. 

The Coalition’s broad mission is to encourage and promote access to civil justice; to this end, it also works to promote collaboration among Vermont’s major providers of civil legal assistance.
