Vermont Judiciary
Judges of the Supreme and Circuit Court
From 1778 to 1892
The judicial powers of the State are
vested in a Supreme Court, a Court of Chancery, a County Court in each
county, Justices of the Peace in the several towns and a Probate Court
in each probate district. The Judges of the Supreme court are
elected biennially by the Legislature, and all the other judicial
officers by the people. From 1778 to 1786, inclusive, the
Supreme Court consisted of five Judges; from 1786 to 1825, it
consisted of three Judges; in 1825, 1826 and 1827, of four Judges;
from 1827 to 1846, it consisted of five Judges; 1846, 1847, 1848 and
1849, of six Judges; in 1850 a change in the judiciary system was
effected, by reducing the number of Supreme Court Judges to three, and
by establishing a Circuit Court, consisting of four Judges; in 1857
the Circuit Court was abolished, and the number of Supreme Court
Judges increased to six; in 1870, the number was increased to seven,
which number constitutes the Court of the present day. {1902}
