Public Statement of the University of Maine School of Law on the Death of George Floyd
Issued June 3, 2020
The faculty and staff at Maine Law are heart-broken and beyond angry that one more person of color has lost his life while pleading for dignity, respect, and just an ounce of human compassion. Words seem particularly useless at times like this, but it is words in action – speaking up, being present, and refusing to be distracted – that are needed now.

Racial Injustice must end.
