VERMONT LAW SCHOOL — Vermont Law School (VLS) today launched a part-time Online Hybrid JD that makes it easier for working professionals to earn their law degree from one of the nation’s top environmental law programs and a leader in the emerging field of restorative justice. VLS will begin accepting applications to the ABA-accredited program immediately, with the first Online Hybrid JD class enrolling this coming fall. More details about applying to the program can be found at vermontlaw.edu/onlinejd. Delivered through a mixture of online classes and three brief, in-person residential sessions, the Online Hybrid JD offers the same rigorous legal education as the school’s residential JD, but with flexibility that allows working professionals to earn a law degree without giving up their ability to earn an income or having to move to Vermont. “The Online Hybrid JD is perfect for experienced, working professionals who want to boost their careers or start a new one in the law,” said VLS Interim President and Dean Beth McCormack. “The program’s flexibility means that students can earn their JD while still meeting the many other obligations in their lives. The ability to keep working, to take care of their families, to minimize student debt, that’s a game-changer.”
