CJA eVoucher AI Billing Tool
for D. Vt. Panel Attorneys

The United States District Court for the District of Vermont is a single federal district covering the entire state, with courthouse locations in Burlington (the primary courthouse, the Federal Building and United States Courthouse on Cherry Street), Brattleboro, Rutland, and Bennington. D. Vt. sits within the Second Circuit and serves the Green Mountain State — encompassing the Lake Champlain basin and the Burlington-South Burlington metro area in the northwest, the ski resort communities of Stowe, Killington, and Okemo, the Connecticut River valley communities of Brattleboro and St. Johnsbury on the New Hampshire border, and the southwestern Vermont communities of Rutland and Bennington near the New York border. Vermont shares long borders with Canada to the north, New York to the west, New Hampshire to the east, and Massachusetts to the south.

The district's federal criminal docket is shaped significantly by its long border with Canada (Quebec), which makes it a corridor for drug smuggling — particularly heroin, fentanyl, and cocaine moving south from Montreal through Vermont's border crossings and rural smuggling routes into New England. Drug trafficking cases arising from the I-89 and I-91 corridors are a major component of the docket. The district also sees firearms offenses, child exploitation, and financial fraud. Vermont's rural character and small population mean the district's criminal docket is compact compared to urban districts, but the border-related cases give it a distinctly international dimension.
