Here at Maine Law, we are celebrating the start of 2021 by safely welcoming small groups of students back for the start of in person classes this week. Like the fall semester, the Law School is following University System policies and safety measures to ensure a safe return to campus. Classes will be delivered online or in a hyflex option, and students attending classes in person or participating in the Clinic will get tested weekly. We look forward to another safe and healthy semester! P.S. The Women’s Law Association has a tasty request for support - a virtual bake sale to support WLA Fellowships! Members of the WLA will be curating an assortment of baked goods for $5. The virtual bake sale is going on now, with pick up at the Law Building on Saturday, February 13th. (Delivery to nearby towns available for an extra charge!) Use this online form to make your purchase and support the WLA. Student Success Four Maine Law students – Chris Knight, Griffin McShane, Nathan Moore, and Dale Rappaneau – were selected to compete virtually in the Helsinki Information Law Moot Court Competition. The Maine Law team was one of only seven teams in world, and the only team in the U.S., to advance to the oral argument round. The students competed on January 25, and came in second. Chris Knight and Griffin McShane won awards for best oralists, and Dale Rappaneau and Nathan Moore won the IAPP finalist awards!
