Vermont Law and Graduate School’s academic programs are designed to transform legal expertise and skills into tools of consequence. As the top environmental law school, we offer on-campus programming for candidates who wish to pursue a Juris Doctor, Master’s, LLM, Dual, or Joint degree, as well as online curriculum for Master’s and LLM degrees. Our environmental law school curriculum covers a broad range of the most topical legal issues of our time, including animal law, environmental law, animal law and policy, energy regulation and law, food and agriculture law and policy, and restorative justice. More information about each degree track and the associated admissions process can be found by visiting our degree programs pages. We also invite you to attend one of our upcoming admissions events to learn more.
