Operative words
Paragraph 5(d) of Administrative Order 49, concerning remote hearings, is amended to establish a presumption that, with some exceptions including jury trials and evidentiary hearings in juvenile and criminal matters, hearings in the Superior Court will be scheduled for remote participation by parties, witnesses, and other participants... Due to the rising incidence of COVID-19 throughout Vermont, the amendment minimizes gatherings of people within courtrooms.
Enforcement
