Vermont agrees on overhaul of judge evaluation system
A joint legislative committee agreed on revising Vermont's method for evaluating and selecting judges. The plan abolishes the eight year old Judicial Selection Board and creates an 11 member Judicial Nominating Board with nominees from the governor, House and Senate, and the state bar. It would also create a Joint Committee on Judicial Retention to review incumbents and advise on re election. The defender general would be named and reappointed under the new system.
