Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Record books contain entries by the court clerk summarizing each case that ended in a judgment. Lamoille supreme court records cover the years 1840-1909, with some gaps. The recording of supreme court judgments was highly irregular. Only 1886-1909 entries are arranged consistently in chronological order by court term, in volumes exclusively limited to the supreme court. Because of the scattered nature of these records, and the lack of indexes for some volumes, the researcher must rely on the master General Index of County and Supreme Court Records to locate judgment entries for individual cases. The two master index volumes cover county court cases between 1836 and 1947, but post-1900 supreme court entries are incomplete. Index entries are arranged alphabetically by plaintiff for each court term, and include record book volumes, page numbers, case beginning and ending dates, and docket numbers. The indexes also include entries on discontinued cases, which are not included in the record books, but which may have case files. In addition to the two index volumes arranged by plaintiff, there is a set of index cards recording 1836-1968 county and supreme court cases by defendant. The cards are arranged alphabetically, but within each letter there is no alphabetical or chronological order of cases.
