The Environmental Law Center is part of Vermont Law School, which is a private, independent institution accredited by the American Bar Association, the Association of American Law Schools, and the New England Association of Schools and Colleges. The ELC is housed in its own building on the law school campus and shares the law school's resources and facilities.
Instruction is provided by members of the law school faculty and adjunct professors.
Master's degree candidates are enrolled in courses with law students, thus benefitting from the challenges of a law school atmosphere. The ELC conducts environmental conferences and workshops, performs environmental legal research on special projects, and sponsors a variety of internship and experiential learning opportunities. The Summer Session offers over 30 courses taught by leading environmental law professionals. The ELC welcomes students with strong liberal arts, science, and engineering backgrounds. We seek self-motivated individuals from varied backgrounds.
