MONTPELIER â Gov. Phil Scott has appointed former Vermont attorney general William Sorrell to serve as chairman of the stateâs Criminal Justice Council.
The council, formerly known as the Criminal Justice Training Council, was modified under Act 166, which went into effect in October. The law doubled the amount of council members from 12 to 24 and dropped the âTrainingâ part of the title because the council deals with other matters such as professional regulation, among other changes.
The law stipulates the governor must pick a chairperson who does not have a connection to law enforcement. Scott chose Sorrell, who served as the stateâs longest tenured attorney general, from 1997 to 2017. Also, he has served as Chittenden County stateâs attorney and as secretary of administration under then-governor Howard Dean.
