Yesterday the Red Cross came to VLS to take blood from the students and local residents of South Royalton. In the past I’ve avoided giving blood because I didn’t meet the minimum weight requirement and I am terrified of needles. Yesterday I decided to suck it up and donate because each person who gives blood [...]

12th Annual Takings Conference
November 7, 2009 – 3:34 pm
Yesterday Vermont Law School hosted the 12th annual conference on Litigating Regulatory Takings Challenges to Land Use and Environmental Regulations. That’s sort of a mouthful, but a takings claim is one where a private property owner says that the government has essentially taken the property without properly compensating the individual. Essentially, the person is claiming [...]
I’ll throw my hat in

It seems like a great number of MELPs have applied for the PMF. I admit that I am one of those MELPs as well. The competition last year was significant, as we were told by Abby Armstong in Career Services. The applicant pool will only be larger this coming year with the unemployment rates as [...]
Tis the Season
November 3, 2009 – 7:07 pm
For cancelled classes. In the last two weeks, I’ve had about 5 of my classes cancelled due to sick professors, conferences, and last minute events. Because the ABA requires a certain number of hours per course, this means make-up classes to make sure we meet our hour requirements. It’s also the season for illness – [...]
Career Services Visit
November 2, 2009 – 9:33 pm
About a month ago I sat down with someone in Career Services to talk over the options I had. I wanted to utilize both my BS and eventually MS degrees. My BS is in Occupational Safety and Environmental Health, basically OSHA, EPA, ergonomics, safety management, etc… can fit under that major. The [...]

To recap, Oktoberfest is [...]

This past Friday, VLS presented the first Douglas Costle Chair lecture. William Rodgers, the first Douglas Costle Chair Visiting Professor delivered the lecture to a room filled with students, professors, and members of the public.
The lecture was one of the funniest I’ve been to in quite some time. I found myself laughing regulalry, along with [...]
Breather

Its just about 11:45am on Thursday. I’m on the second floor of the Chase Center taking a mental breather while I can. This is a tough week as far as scheduling and work load goes. Definitely no time to get Wednesday Wings at 5 Olde with the roommates kind of a week.
Despite the nice [...]
