*Vermont Law School is distinguished by the character of the students 
and faculty who have chosen to learn and teach here. From its founding, 
VLS has consistently drawn individuals from across the country and world 
*with a passion for public service, a concern for justice, and an 
interest in pursing legal education as a means to make a difference in 
the world.* It is not surprising that with its *emphasis on advocacy*, 
Vermont Law School has risen to the top as a place to study 
environmental law, offering more courses in the field than any other law 
school in the country. *The International and Comparative Law programs* 
have been developed over the years in anticipation of the growing need 
for experienced legal advocates around the globe who are prepared to 
*address some of the most pressing issues of our time.*

Vermont Law School is also recognized as an entrepreneurial community of 
energetic students and accomplished legal scholars and practitioners who 
regularly collaborate on advocacy work that reaches far beyond Vermont. 
The school's emphasis on practical, experiential learning across 
government, the nonprofit sector, and in private commerce provides VLS 
students, while they are students, with a realistic assessment of the 
challenges and rewards of varied career options in the legal profession.
