About CLIC
The Community Legal Information Center provides legal reference services to Vermont’s general public. Founded in 2015, CLIC is funded by a grant from the Vermont Department of Libraries and is operated by librarians and staff of Vermont Law & Graduate School.
Note: Legal and library ethics standards prohibit library staff from providing legal advice. Librarians are available to suggest resources and provide help on how to use resources; they can also provide information about where to obtain legal assistance.
