Thanks to the generosity and hard work of students, faculty, staff, friends, and alumni, the University of Maine School of Law has been able to offer a variety of interesting and instructive summer fellowships. This summer, 24 students from the Law School will work as fellows in a wide array of jobs. Many of these jobs are public interest law positions, and benefit both the students and the wider community. The fellowship locations are as far away as Reno, Nevada and New York City – and as close as Portland and Augusta.
