ACTION ALERT: Two Branches of Government Try to Exempt Themselves From Code of Ethics

Vermont already has a very comprehensive and extensive ethics protocol for attorneys and judges. These comprehensive ethics requirements have been in effect for decades and any further requirements are unnecessary. Attorney and judicial ethics requirements are designed to address situations where the public interfaces with the VT legal system. Certainly, amendments to this system can be proposed, but a new system should not be substituted and wipe out years of court decisions that help define and guide current legal conduct.
