The Judicial Conduct Board investigates complaints about judges and recommends any needed action to the court. The Supreme Court appoints the nine members of the Board, which consists of three judges, active or retired (but not active Supreme Court Justices), three lawyers admitted to practice in Vermont, and three members of the public who are not judges and are not admitted to practice law in Vermont.
One of the attorney-held seats is coming open Dec. 31, 2026, and the VBA has been asked to provide the Supreme Court with the names of three nominees for that seat. This is a three-year seat. For more information, see Rule 4.
If you are a Vermont-licensed attorney interested in serving on the JCB, please fill out this statement of interest and return it to the VBA no later than Nov. 12, 2026 (return to: [email protected] – “judicial conduct board statement of interest” in the subject line).
At their November meeting, the VBA Board of Managers will select up to three names to be forwarded to the JCB for their consideration. Bear in mind that these are recommendations only. The Supreme Court will choose the individual and make the appointment in January 2027.
For more information about the JCB, see the judiciary website here.
