The Vermont Legislative Research Service (VLRS)

The Vermont Legislative Research Service (VLRS) strives to provide non-partisan policy research support to Vermont State Legislators while concurrently promoting students research skills. Students work in research teams to produce research reports answering questions posed by Legislators and on current issues before the Vermont Legislature. Student Researchers conduct this work under the supervision of Dr. Anthony "Jack" Gierzynski (Director of the VLRS) and Dr. Jonathan "Doc" Bradley (Deputy Director).

The VLRS operates each fall semester only. Legislators in need of research from the VLRS are asked to email Professor Gierzynski (agierzyn@uvm.edu).
