National Jurist Law School Rankings
According to U.S. News & World Report, students interested in pursuing careers in environmental law should investigate the Vermont Law School, Lewis and Clark College, and the University of California at Berkeley. U.S. News rankings of the environmental law programs at these schools are based on nominations from law professors at American Bar Association-accredited law schools.
Vermont Law School
An independent law school not affiliated with a public or private college or university, the Vermont Law School earns the top ranking from U.S. News survey respondents with regards to their environmental law program. Students may undertake programs at the master’s degree level or may pursue a Juris Doctor degree.
In addition to the JD degree, the Master of Environmental Law and Policy degree (MELP), a joint JD/MELP degree, and the Master of Laws degree (all of which offer and range of courses on environmental laws and policies), students may pursue environmental-related joint degrees with a number of schools in the United States and around the world. The Vermont Law School partners with Dartmouth’s Tuck School of Business, the Thunderbird School of Global Management, and the Yale School of Forestry and Environmental Studies, among others, to offer degrees that combine environmental law with other areas of interest related to environmental studies.
