Are there enough legal services available in Washington County? How can we make legal services more affordable? What are some tips for people representing themselves in court? You are invited to discuss these topics and more with a group led by Vermont's Chief Justice as part of the Vermont Bar Association's Bench & Bar Listening Tour at the Old Labor Hall in Barre on Tuesday February 5 from 5:00 – 6:00 pm.

The event is free and open to the public. It is an opportunity for people to share their impressions of our courts and legal system, and to learn what local resources are available to assist them with legal needs.

Vermont Supreme Court Chief Justice, Paul Reiber, will lead the event. Also attending are: Vermont Bar Association President Gary Franklin, Esq.; Vermont Superior Court Judge Mary Miles Teachout; and attorney Heidi Groff, Esq., Washington County Bar Association President and partner at Biggam Fox Skinner, LLP. Chief Justice Reiber and VBA President Franklin are visiting each of Vermont's 14 counties in the coming months.
