Reforms Divide Vermont Judges on Justice System Changes
Vermont judges and county officials split on reforms from the Citizens Conference on the Administration of Justice. Abolish justice of the peace courts and side judges duties, and consolidate probate districts, are debated as Bennington County weighs impact on minor cases, county administration, and access to court. The Manchester justice court, run by Ralph Fleming Jr, handles mainly towns ordinance violations and a few state police cases, highlighting practical concerns about travel, fees, and appeals under potential new district boundaries.
