Bookstore

Barrister’s Bookshop is a student-run non-profit specializing in new and used books, office supplies, clothing, diploma frames, and all the VLGS swag you need to show your school spirit. We have been in business for over 50 years!

In addition to all your purchasing needs, Barrister’s Bookshop has employment opportunities for students with work-study financial aid. There is also an opportunity for students to be on our board of directors which is comprised of three students from each year of the JD program. Every year our board of directors selects fellowship recipients working public interest internships during the summer.

Sell Your Used Books

When you sell your used books through Barrister’s Bookshop, you will receive 80% of the price it is sold for. We accept current editions of all books for your classes here at Vermont Law & Graduate School. This way of selling books on consignment helps you get the most money back for your books, as well as helping incoming Swans get their text books for a fair price and keeps the money within our community. 

Cafe

Barrister’s has a warm and cozy atmosphere which is perfect for enjoying a cup of coffee or tea while chatting with friends or catching up on your studies. We have open mic nights as well as local author book signings, arts and crafts, game nights, and other fun events. Barrister’s is pleased to welcome various student groups holding events in our space which is perfect for discussions as well as presentations. 

Menu

Enjoy delicious coffees and teas made by our fabulous baristas, we have both espresso and drip coffees as well as a wide variety of teas. Our full service espresso bar serves up everything from lattes and cappuccinos to macchiatos and mochaccinos. We have both dairy and non-dairy milk options with no up-charge and compostable to go cups and straws. Bringing your own mug saves the environment as well as  25 cents! For those who are not coffee drinkers and want something cold in the summer, we have iced green tea and Italian sodas made with our large selection of flavored syrups. Cold brew coffee is available all summer long for a deliciously smooth iced coffee experience.
