Are you interested in social justice law, or environmental law and policy?
VLS offers both JD and Master's degrees - Master's in Environmental Law 
& Policy (MELP) or Energy Regulation & Law (MERL)

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.

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

other financial aid to VLS.
