Civil Division Oversight Committee
The Civil Division Oversight Committee helps to promote the vision of the Vermont Judiciary for a fair, well-managed court system. Issues it reviews include:
- Changes or additions to civil statutes and rules
- Efficiencies in scheduling and case-flow management in the courthouses
- Improvements to civil division policy, procedures, and forms
- Concerns about the division from judges, lawyers, legislators, individuals, and legal associations
The committee has thirteen members. Each serves a three-year term. Eleven members are from the Judiciary, and two are attorneys from private practice.
