Are you interested in social justice law, or environmental law and
policy? 

VERMONT LAW SCHOOL INFO SESSION
Thursday, Nov. 13, 4:00, at CORC, 3rd Floor Library
includes dinner and snack food 

VLS is a great program; our alums from VLS have very positive feedback
on this school! VLS has a focus on using law and policy to make a
difference. VLS offers both JD and Master's degrees - Master's in
Environmental Law & Policy (MELP) or Energy Regulation & Law (MERL)

Here's more from the VLS web pages followed by a quote from an alum:

We are committed to developing a generation of leaders who use the power
of the law to make a difference in our communities and the world.
Because the status quo is no longer acceptable.
Vermont Law School students are world-class thinkers and doers. They
participate in clinics and externships that give them experience
representing underserved clients, conducting leading-edge research, and
working with community groups. They take part in national trial
advocacy, environmental and civil rights moot court competitions, and in
arguments before the Vermont Supreme Court. They are scientists,
hackers, hikers, and musicians. They are talented, sometimes quirky,
entrepreneurial self-starters and self-selectors who believe in
community. They are idealists interested in practical training. They are
friends, activists, and leaders in the law. 

"At Vermont Law School, I had the opportunity to immerse myself in
environmental work. Between my professors, my colleagues, my course work
and frequent workshops and lectures, I was steeped in the challenge of
addressing environmental problems through legal and political
mechanisms. My courses ranged from Ecosystem Management Law (where
concepts of environmental protection were explored) to a special topics
course in international climate law (which is taking me to Lima, Peru
for COP20 as a part of the Vermont Law Observer Delegation). Vermont Law
is an inspiring community full of hard-working and passionate learners,
much like Hampshire. For a graduate-level education in the environmental
sector, Vermont Law is simply unmatched."
Catherine Craig 08F, VLS-MELP program, 2014 

We'll also provide information about a great Hampshire scholarship and
other financial aid to VLS.
