Vt. R. Bar Adm. 1
The public interest is best served and protected and the integrity of the Bar of the Vermont Supreme Court is best maintained when applicants for admission are fairly, impartially, and thoroughly examined as to their professional competence as attorneys, and investigated as to their moral character and fitness. The rules serve these purposes. To assist in achieving these results, the Court has established a board, known as the Board of Bar Examiners, which is responsible for examining applicants' competence, and a committee, known as the Character and Fitness Committee, which is responsible for investigating applicants' moral character and fitness.
