Student Legal Services Information

Student Legal Services (SLS) is a student-run organization, funded by the Student Government Association, which aids University of Vermont (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.
