You can make social change beyond just litigation. I’m not sure if I fully understood this when I entered law school, but there are so many ways to use a Maine Law degree, and doing advocacy and legislative work can sometimes have even more of an impact than litigation. The best part of Maine Law is if you don’t know exactly what you want to do you can try it out. There are opportunities everywhere.
