The University of Maine School of Law has long offered a high quality legal education to a selective student body. With a fine faculty, excellent library resources, and a nationally oriented curriculum strong in basic legal courses, the Law School takes pride in educating men and women who become capable and motivated attorneys.
The academic program is rigorous and demanding. Thanks to the School’s size, however, its students have the benefit of small classes, frequent and informal contact with the faculty, and a friendly atmosphere. These factors do much to ease the strains attendant upon entry to an exacting profession.
The School averages less than 300 students, making it one of the smallest in the country. The student body is remarkably varied in age, professional and academic experience, and background.
The School’s faculty of 21 full-time and several part-time instructors, drawn from the local community of attorneys, represents a diversity of backgrounds, expertise, and interests.
The School is fully accredited by the American Bar Association and is a charter member of the Association of American Law Schools.
Established in Portland in 1961, the Law School is an administrative unit of the University of Southern Maine, but has responsibilities to the statewide University system. The School is located in a building accessible for handicapped students that provides facilities for classroom and seminar discussion, library research, moot court participation, clinical practice, legal publications, and student activities.
