ENVIRONMENTAL LAW AT VERMONT LAW SCHOOL Environmental challenges have never been more pressing or more complex. But at Vermont Law and Graduate School, a new generation of leaders is stepping up to meet them. For nearly 50 years, Vermont Law School has educated law and policy students on the basis of one ideal: to develop leaders who use the power of the law to make a difference. Our dedicated and distinguished faculty cultivate a learning environment rich in cooperative spirit. The Environmental Law Center is home to the most comprehensive graduate environmental law program in the country, consistently ranked among the best by U.S. News & World Report. With a multidisciplinary, hands-on education drawing from law, policy, science, economics, and
ethics, our students are equipped to make an impact. Our graduates are on the frontlines of environmental advocacy, the clean energy revolution, the sustainable food movement, and animal protection. They are trailblazers in environmental justice, fighting to ensure that environmental law serves all communities. They are skilled in working with environmental and public policy issues within the framework of the legal system— and they are prepared to meet the environmental challenges of the 21st century. “ In serving as champions for environmental protection and justice, we serve as champions for the entire world community and the future generations who will inherit our planet—nothing we do matters more.” — RODNEY SMOLLA, President, Vermont Law and Graduate School
