can someone tell me a bit about this school? i know it has a relatively new LLM program and looks very interesting

The program's website is fairly comprehensive. I would start there.

Recognizing that elmonyc asked this question over two years ago, I just wanted to respond in case others also wanted to know more about the University of Maine School of Law's LL.M. program. We do indeed have a new, very personalized and student-focused LL.M. program, and unlike so many other law schools, we make it a matter of pride to take good care of our LL.M. students and to value them as so much more than as ways to fill empty seats. As one of the co-directors of the program, I am more than happy to answer any and all questions regarding our school.
