Maine Law Admissions Director Caroline Wilshusen
Among the topics she will discuss and take questions about are “Why law school?” “Why Maine Law?” how to prepare for the admissions process, and information on Maine Law’s new location in downtown Portland.
“We are excited to have director Wilshusen with us to discuss Maine Law and to inform individuals about law school as a career path,” said James Melcher, UMF professor of political science and pre-law advisor. “Maine Law—the only law school in Maine—has long been the top choice of our students. The success of their graduates, including Governors Janet Mills and John McKernan, shows what a great job they do preparing lawyers to serve in Maine and beyond.”
More information on UMF Pre-Law Programs
UMF offers both a Legal Studies minor designed to provide exposure to law and the skills law students and lawyers need and an accelerated 3+3 Pre-Law program designed to allow a student to earn both a Bachelor’s degree at UMF and Law degree from the University of Maine School of Law in just six years instead of seven. Students will have advisors that provide them with information on requirements for law school and will work with them to tailor course selections to focus on legal and Constitutional issues, critical thinking, writing and other areas.
