Supreme Court of Vermont Opinions Selected, edited, rewritten, condensed and digested © 2009-2023 Allan R. Keyes.
"The common law is an active,
not a static,
flow of ideas and principles,
a living stream, constrained by policy and precedent within this branch,
and by the supervening guides of constitution and statute."
Frederic W. Allen (Chief Justice 1984-1997)
