The Criminal Division Oversight Committee is an advisory board to the Vermont Supreme Court. This committee makes recommendations to the Supreme Court about administrative and judicial matters in the criminal division. Its work helps to promote the vision of the Vermont Judiciary for a fair, well-managed, and impartial court system. Some of the issues the committee reviews are:

  • Changes or additions to criminal statutes and rules
  • Efficiency in scheduling, calendaring, and case-flow management in the courthouses
  • Improvements to criminal division policy, procedures, and forms
  • Concerns about the division from members of the judiciary, legislature, the Judicial Rules Committee, and legal associations

The fifteen members on the committee serve three-year terms.
