Zachary Chen ’07: Assistant Attorney General, Vermont
Zachary Chen is in the Criminal Division of the Attorney General’s Office as an Assistant Attorney General. He works for the people of Vermont alongside a stellar group of experienced attorneys in a collegial and stimulating environment. We prosecute a variety of cases that require resources beyond what may be available at local State’s Attorney offices or that the local State’s Attorney may be unable to prosecute because of ethical issues.
Zachary graduated from Vermont Law School in 2014. His first position after law school was a clerkship with the Honorable Paul Reiber, Chief Justice of the Vermont Supreme Court. After the clerkship, he joined the Attorney General’s Office. Between Middlebury and law school, Zachary had a variety of experiences including working on a ranch in Arizona, traveling up the West Coast, interning and guiding hikers in Beijing, and working on a wildland firefighting engine crew.
