We are proud to have been involved in nearly all of the major civil rights cases that have been litigated in Vermont in recent years. Among these cases are: Baker v. State of Vermont, which established that same-sex couples are entitled to the same rights as married couples; Brigham v. State of Vermont, which established the right to equal educational opportunity under the Vermont Constitution; Chittenden Town School District v.
