A Second Law School for Maine?
Husson College, a private, 4-year college located in Bangor, Maine, is eyeing plans to establish the second law school in that state.
At present, the University of Maine School of Law, located in Portland, is the 'Pine Tree State's' only law school. As one of the smallest law schools in the nation, it prides itself on fostering close student-faculty relationships and on maintaining a strong sense of community among students, faculty, and alumni.
Not surprisingly, Maine Law School alumni hold a prominent position in Maine's political and business life. Graduates include the present Chief Justice of the Maine Supreme Court, state and federal judges, and the state's three top law enforcement officials.
Husson College's law school proposal will need to be approved by the Maine Department of Education and the Maine Supreme Court. If all goes well, Husson officials hope to enroll their first class of J.D. students by fall 2008.
