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