The Vermont Law Review, a legal journal edited and managed by students, enjoys an international circulation. The Review publishes articles contributed by prominent legal scholars, as well as student-written notes and comments. As members of the Review, students engage in intensive legal research, writing and editing. Academic standing at the end of the first year or performance in a writing competition determines membership. The Vermont Legal Research Group is an organization of students that publishes summaries of recent Vermont SuperiorCourt and Vermont Supreme Court decisions for the Vermont Bar Association Newsletter and offers research services to Vermont attorneys.
Membership is determined on the basis of a writing competition.
The Vermont Law School VITA program provides federal and state tax assistance to elderly, low-income, and disadvantaged taxpayers living in the communities surrounding the law school. Training is provided by the Internal Revenue Service and the Vermont State Tax Department. It sponsors conferences, panel discussions, and speakers on a wide range of topics of interest to women and men, such as gender bias, feminist jurisprudence, alternative career paths for women lawyers, and discrimination in the interviewing process. Its main function is to act as a support group for all women in the law school and particularly for women in the first-year class. The Women's Law Group sponsors a mentoring program, whereby all incoming first-year students are matched with an upperclass mentor.
