UVM Student Legal Services

Student Legal Services (SLS) is a student-run organization, funded by the Student Government Association, which aids UVM students with legal problems. Legal counsel is provided by two attorneys from the Burlington law firm of Blodgett, Watts, & Volk, P.C., whose services SLS retains.

The areas of law SLS specializes in include landlord/tenant matters, criminal law, civil law, consumer fraud, academic dishonesty, and the academic disciplinary process. We maintain an office in the SGA office in the Davis Center, with a staff of 10-15 interns per semester. Legal advice is provided free of charge to all UVM students.

Please give us a call at (802) 656-4379 or via email at legal@uvm.edu to schedule an initial appointment with an intern.

Note: Since Student Legal Services represents all students equally, we cannot assist in any cases involving a student with a claim against another student. We offer consultations and assistance, however SLS does not provide the same services a paid attorney would. If this is what you require we can refer you to a local attorney to fulfill these needs.
