Our Mission Statement The over-arching duty of SAS remains the assurance that all Vermonters have equal protection under the law. SAS is obligated to provide effective prosecution with diligence, promptness, and a commitment to upholding the law. 1.1.2. Locations There are fourteen State’s Attorney’s offices throughout the state, one in each county. In addition, the Executive Director’s Office is located in the state capitol, Montpelier. 1.1.3.

Existing CMS Currently, SAS’s CMS is JustWare (Journal Technologies Inc. – JTI). SAS began project work on
JustWare in 2013.
