Husson University is reportedly about to launch another attempt to create a new law school in Maine.
An earlier effort to do so was blocked by the Maine Supreme Judicial Court, but the university plans to detail its latest plans at a press conference tomorrow, reports Mainebiz.

If there are no jobs in Boston - one of the largest legal markets in the country - then I have serious doubts about Portland, pop. 65,000, Augusta, pop. 25,000, or Bangor, pop. 30,000. What is a Husson University? I went to college in Maine (one of the BBC’s), and have never heard of them. I did notice on their website that they charge you a fee to graduate. I wonder if they want a law school just for that sweet, guaranteed tuition money…?
