From an alum who went through the MELP program:
” I remain connected to VLS and am currently on the VLS observer delegation, which is preparing to go to Lima Peru for the climate conferences in December! … 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
