Vermont Law School is a private Law School located in South Royalton, Vermont (a village of Royalton, Vermont ). The school has one of the United States' leading programs in Environmental Law . The school is in the Green Mountains of Vermont and sits next to the White River. Vermont Law School is also notable as the sole law school to refuse cooperation with the Solomon Amendment, a statute passed by Congress requiring colleges and universities to allow military recruitment on campus or risk losing federal funding. '''VLS''' refused and in doing so gave up over a million dollars in federal funding. The school is also part of '''FAIR''', or the Forum For Academic And Institutional Rights , a consortium of 38 law schools and law faculties that challenged the Salomon Amendment in Rumsfeld V. FAIR , claiming that the military's "don't ask, don't tell" policy was discriminatory. The district court ruled for the Attorney General, but the Third Circuit Court Of Appeals ruled for the law schools. Oral arguments were heard before the Supreme Court on December 6th, 2005. FACTS
