DEAR VERMONT LAW SCHOOL STUDENT: I want to welcome you to campus, and express my great excitement for our year ahead! The purpose of the Student Handbook/Planner is to provide all of you with Vermont Law School’s policies and resources. These policies and the expectations we have to support and respond to each other are core components of our small, rural law school community. Most of the policies you read about here have been developed by students, faculty, and staff. A good number of resources mentioned here started out as ideas or initiatives by students. Speaking to all students, and especially our first year students, I encourage you to manage your time and focus your energies so that you can flourish on campus and beyond. The value of your involvement in both curricular and co-curricular life cannot be overstated. Opportunities to learn are all around you, but you must shoulder much of the responsibility for using these resources to their fullest potential. You can find many different ways to socialize and make life-long friends. You may also participate in student groups, engage in music, theater, and the arts, and create a community where closeness and friendships across racial, ethnic, religious, gender, and sexual orientation, background, deepen our understanding of each other. We are all here to help you. Do not hesitate to call on me or any of the staff and faculty if you need assis- tance as you learn, work, and play within the law school community. Best wishes for a successful academic year. Sincerely, Shirley A. Jefferson JD’86 Associate Dean for Student Affairs and Diversity 6 MESSAGE FROM THE SBA PRESIDENT On behalf of the Student Bar Association (SBA), I am honored to welcome to you to the next chapter of your life at Vermont Law School. This year will leave a footprint on us as we deal with the impact of an International pandemic and one where we either elect a new U.S. President or re-elect our current Pres- ident. I believe that we are ready to take on the challenges of the upcoming year and commit to show up when our family, friends, and our community needs us to. I am honored to serve as your leader as we take a step into a year filled with uncertainty. VLS is my home. I chose VLS because of the focus on environmental law, the community-based comradery, and the vast amount of opportunities VLS offers. VLS is a tight-knit community filled with dreamers, go-getters, activists, pragmatists, and exceptional leaders. The Student Bar Association represents our tight-knit community and addresses critical issues our school faces. We have senators from each class who work on proposals, participate in student-led com- mittees, and attend bi-weekly meetings on Tuesdays to address students concerns.
