Semester in Practice
Vermont Law School is committed to offering an integrated curriculum, one that values high quality, traditional academic instruction while expanding student's options through a number of experiential learning situations, including an on-campus clinic, a legislative clinic, a part-time internship program, and the full-time external clinics: the Semester in Practice and the Environmental Semester in Washington.

Field-mentors are experienced lawyers who work with and within: government (state, federal and local), NGO's, non profit organizations, and law firms.
We intend, through this clinic:
- To give students interested in an area of substantive law not offered at VLS an opportunity to learn that area through work with practitioners specializing or practicing in it.
- To permit students through practical experience to develop an area of substantive law expertise beyond the level available through courses.
- To give students an opportunity through experiential application to gain familiarity with or mastery of some lawyering skills beyond the level available at VLS.
- To give students intensive research, writing, and analytic problem solving opportunities in the context of whole cases.
- To give students sufficient legal experience to improve their understanding and retention of materials and skills taught in the classroom.
