Court unity plan opposed by clerks two justices
In Montpelier the Vermont County Clerk's Association and two Supreme Court justices opposed unifying the Superior and District Courts arguing it would add bureaucracy and reduce efficiency. Chief Justice Barney and Court Administrator Turgeon supported unification to align with a 1974 constitutional amendment. Clerks favor retaining local control and adding Superior Court judges to handle growing caseloads.
