About the Institute
Once again, we are taking our School Law Institute virtual for 2023 using Zoom, a cloud-based video-conferencing service. The Institute program has been designed with busy educators in mind, and is led by Drummond Woodsum school attorneys who have years of experience, both practicing and teaching school law. The Institute distills from the vast body of education statutes and court decisions the knowledge that educators most need to perform their jobs effectively and to recognize and prevent legal problems before they arise.

The Maine Department of Education has approved the Institute to fulfill the requirement for a course on school law for purposes of administrator certification. Whether you need a course to satisfy a requirement, are looking for an update, or simply have an interest in school law, the course will meet your needs. The course will also qualify for C.E.U.s from UMO for a small fee. Instructions for payment will be provided with the course materials.
(Note: Although the Institute provides certification and recertification credits, it is not affiliated with a college or university and does not provide graduate school credits)
