Vermont Professional Responsibility Board
Regulation of the Legal Profession
The Professional Responsibility Board (PRB) operates under the authority of the Vermont Supreme Court to oversee the conduct of attorneys practicing within the state. Located in the Pavilion Office Building in Montpelier, the Board is responsible for administering the Professional Responsibility Program. Its primary mission is to protect the public from unethical legal practices and to maintain confidence in the integrity of the legal system by enforcing the Vermont Rules of Professional Conduct.
- Attorney Discipline: Investigates complaints filed by clients or the public regarding lawyer misconduct, such as neglect, conflict of interest, or misappropriation of funds.
- Disciplinary Counsel: A dedicated team that reviews grievances, conducts investigations, and prosecutes cases of professional misconduct before hearing panels.
- Education and Assistance: Provides guidance to attorneys to help them adhere to ethical standards and prevent violations before they occur.
- Hearing Panels: Independent panels composed of lawyers and laypeople that adjudicate disciplinary charges and recommend sanctions.
Public Protection
For citizens who believe they have been harmed by the actions of a lawyer, the Professional Responsibility Board serves as the official body for recourse. The Board ensures that all complaints are reviewed fairly and promptly. While they cannot offer legal advice or recover money lost in a lawsuit, they hold the power to sanction attorneys, ranging from a public reprimand to disbarment. The office in Montpelier acts as the administrative hub for these proceedings, handling case filings and coordinating the various panels that monitor legal ethics in Vermont.
