Dear Students, Faculty, and Members of the Environmental Legal Community,

The Vermont Journal of Environmental Law (VJEL) is thrilled to announce our tenth-annual White River Environmental Law Writing Competition. This Competition aims to encourage academics nationwide to contribute their voices and insights to the ongoing debates and conversations within the environmental law community. The annual writing Competition supports VJEL’s mission to provide the legal community with premier scholarship in environmental law.

All submissions must be in Word format and be emailed to ArticlesVJEL@vermontlaw.edu with the subject line: “White River Submission” by 5:00 PM EST on Monday, March 18, 2024. The submission must include a cover page that includes your name, address, phone number, email address, law school, and year of graduation to ensure anonymity and impartiality for the judging process. Do not include your name or any other personal information in any other part of your submission. The winning author will be notified in Spring 2024 and will receive a $1,000 cash prize along with a publication offer from VJEL. At the discretion of our senior editors, additional entries may receive publication offers.

Please share these Competition details with any current ABA-accredited J.D., LL.M., or Masters student(s) that may be interested.* Any questions regarding the Competition may be directed to VJEL@vermontlaw.edu and/or MonicaNerz@vermontlaw.edu.
