Deadline in Vermont

Under Vermont Rule of Appellate Procedure 4(a)(1), a notice of appeal must be filed within 30 days after the entry of the judgment or order being appealed. This 30-day window begins on the date the trial court clerk enters the decision on the docket. The rule is straightforward: the clock starts from entry, not from when a party receives notice or learns of the ruling. The official source, accessible through the Vermont court system, provides the full text of the rule and any applicable exceptions. The worked example below demonstrates how the 30-day deadline is calculated from a specific entry date. Use the DocketMath calculator to estimate your own filing deadline under this rule.
