Vermont Law professor helps guide reform of criminal justice system
Vermont Gov. Peter Shumlin received national attention earlier this month when he devoted his annual “State of the State” address to the problem of addiction and its impact on the criminal justice system. In addition to admitting that Vermont faces a “full-blown heroin crisis,” the governor called for an overhaul in how drug users are treated by the criminal justice system in the state. At the heart of that proposed change is work that directly involves Vermont Law Visiting Professor and former Windsor County State’s Attorney Robert L. Sand.
