Law School

Husson University in Bangor, Maine has dropped plans to offer law degrees.  This is a follow-up to an article we blogged about this past September.  A March 4th Maine Supreme Judicial Court’s ruling that Husson’s graduates would not be allowed to take the state’s bar exam influenced this decision.  The University asked the court to devise its own review system for evaluating Husson University, as an alternative to the American Bar Association standards.  The court said it could not create an alternative review process and without the law school in full operation and a review in progress, the court said it could not allow Husson students to take the bar exam.  The University of Maine School of Law in Portland remains as the only law school in Maine, which leaves no law school in the northern or eastern part of the state.  The original article from The Portland Press Herald can be accessed here.

More on the story we posted yesterday announcing Wake Forest’s excellent bar passage rates. A more complete story detailing passage rates within the state is over at The Business Journal. Of special note, is the strong results posted by Elon University’s inaugural law school class, clocking in at a respectable 83% passage rate. Congratulations to the administration and to the inaugural class during what must surely be a very proud moment! Nicely done!

Interesting story this morning, courtesy of The Maine Public Broadcasting Network. It is a translation of a radio report, which is also available on the site.

Husson University in Bangor is again launching an effort to open a new law school in Maine. The school has expanded its curriculum and hired faculty so that it can once again petition the Maine Supreme Court to allow graduates to take the Maine Bar Exam.
