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").

In 2003, with the publication of Volume Four, the Journal took on yet
another name: The Vermont Journal of Environmental Law-reflecting the
decision to narrow our focus to environmental law.

Because VJEL publishes on-line, we can facilitate dialogue and provide an
international forum for enlightened discourse on a range of environmental
issues impacting our region, nation, and world. By combining the cutting
edge technology of the Internet with legal scholarship, VJEL ensures both
rapid publication and a unique medium for presentation.

As the on-line journal of the nation's leading
environmental law school, Vermont Law School, the Vermont
Journal of Environmental Law provides a unique
international forum for enlightened discourse on a range of
environmental issues impacting our region, nation, and
world.
