I was a single person willing to leave the state for law school but I decided to come to Maine Law. A lot of that was because of the school’s reputation in the state and also the vibe here. 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.
