The Vermont Advisory Committee on the Rules of Evidence is scheduled to meet on Friday, May 16, 2025, at 2:00 PM via TEAMS. The agenda includes several key topics for discussion.
The meeting will begin with a call to order followed by the review of minutes from the January 2025 meeting. Judge Corbett will provide an update on membership recruitment and announce that Professor Barbara Masterson has been appointed as the reporter.
Under old business, there are several amendments under consideration. An amendment to VRE 502 regarding Lawyer Referral Privilege has been submitted to the Vermont Supreme Court for promulgation. Another amendment to VRE 106, concerning the Rule of Completeness, was published for public comment; however, no comments have been received yet and it is still awaiting review from LCAR. Additionally, a draft proposed amendment to VRE 615 about Exclusion of Witnesses has been circulated for further discussion.
New business and public comments will also be addressed before adjournment. Those interested in attending can request a videoconference link by emailing dickson.corbett@vtcourts.gov.
