Profiles
Specific knowledge, a specific education or upbringing, a pre-law path or not, none of that determines how well you’ll do here. What matters is having an inquisitive mind and a learning process that works for you.
There’s a sense of congeniality and community here. My preference is to network and work in unison rather than elbow others out of the way, and that’s how things are also done at
Maine Law.
The fact that Maine Law is plugged into the immigrant rights scene in Portland and the state is huge for me. Beyond that, I wanted an environment that was communal, not competitive.
I’m amazed by the minds and the questions and the diversity of viewpoints that surround me daily at Maine Law.
