Husson drops plans for law school

By The Mainebiz News Staff

Husson University in Bangor has dropped its plans for a law school after its request for graduates to take the bar exam was turned down twice.

The university's board of trustees made the decision Monday to end their efforts to establish a law school, according to the Bangor Daily News. Husson had twice requested graduates be allowed to take the Maine bar exam, but the Maine Supreme Judicial Court twice unanimously rejected it, citing lack of accreditation. The American Bar Association requires that law schools have a tenure track for professors, but Husson abolished tenure about 15 years ago, and said it did not plan to seek accreditation for the law school from the association.

Husson spent about $300,000 in its efforts to establish a law school, according to the paper.
