  • Annual Philanthropy Report 2019–2020
    Annual Philanthropy Report 2019–2020 42 MAINE LAW MAGAZINE WINTER/SPRING 2021 A Message from the Maine Law Foundation n behalf of the University of Maine School of Law Foundation Board, we write to send our collective appreciation to our donors and fellow alumni for the successful annual campaign recorded in this report. O Maine Law is a small but prolific institution with over 3,900 living alumni. The school has thrived on the support, loyalty, and continuing enthusiasm from so many of us who received our introduction to the law from classrooms on High Street or Deering Avenue during the past 58 years. Our small school has now grown in stature to become – pound for pound – one of Maine’s most influential institutions with numerous societal contributions, both public and private, from the school’s many and diverse graduates and from the scholarship and community engagement of its faculty. Maine Law’s growing stature was recently confirmed when, with the leadership of Chancellor Dannel Malloy (himself a former Boston College Law professor), the University of Maine System’s Board of Trustees directed that the Law School should now report directly to the Chancellor and to the System’s Board of Trustees in parallel to the seven campuses. It was further confirmed when the Chancellor recruited Maine’s respected Chief Justice Leigh Saufley '80 to serve as Dean. The school’s reputation instantly blossomed – as did the recruitment of new students. New applicants have ever stronger qualifications, including higher LSAT and GPA records. Renewed focus on student success, led by one of the newest professors, Greg Bordelon, was evidenced in what may have been an all-time high Maine State Bar Exam passage rate for Maine Law graduates.

  • Chancellor Update to the Board – Week of January 25, 2021
    Week of January 25 Trustees, COVID, as you well know, is ever-present in our ongoing work. We've conducted more than 10,000 tests of returning residential and out-of-state students and other special populations in the latter part of January to begin the Spring semester on time this past Monday. As of Friday, we were managing 63 known active cases of COVID, 35 of whom are residential students. We've expanded our wastewater testing for increased surveillance of fully 97 percent of our expected student residential population this spring, and, as we reported earlier this month, we're ready to begin weekly testing tomorrow for all faculty, staff, and students expected to have in- person interaction for class or work. Now, in the weeks ahead, and as you may have seen reported at the end of the week, more than 250 nursing students from the University of Maine, the Universities of Maine at Fort Kent and Presque Isle, and the University of Southern Maine will be volunteering to help end the pandemic by participating in Maine’s COVID-19 vaccination deployment. The volunteer opportunities have been created through nursing program innovations and public health and education partnerships across the state. You can see our own public statement from this past Thursday for further details about this critical effort and profiles of some of our nursing students involved in the effort. I continue to be deeply gratified for the effort and resilience displayed throughout our UMS communities both to come back together safely for the Spring semester and to serve the State in the ongoing pandemic fight.
