Title
Vermont Journal of Environmental Law
Description
The mission of the Vermont Journal of Environmental Law (VJEL) is to combine cutting-edge technology with a multidisciplinary approach to a broad range of environmental issues in order to ensure a rapid presentation of information and to facilitate an enlightened discourse.
VJEL began in 1996 as the Vermont Journal of the Environment. With the support of key Vermont Law School faculty and VLS' Environmental Law Center, the Journal debuted on the Internet with several small environmental articles and a few student-written news pieces. That spring, we changed our name to "Res Communes: Vermont's Journal of the Environment"-and continued to post articles.
In the spring of 1998, Res Communes published its first official volume as the on-line journal of the nation's leading environmental law school. That first issue, concerning cultural perspectives in land use, featured scholars such as Dan Tarlock ("Australian Land Law of Aboriginal Land Rights") and Allison Dussias ("The Conflict Between Recreational Users at Devils Tower and Native American Ceremonial Users").
