Inspiring Stories

Melinda Sheehee ’98 is not your typical Maine Law alumna. Melinda was born and raised in Florida and earned her undergraduate degree from Florida State University. Upon her graduation, Melinda knew she did not want to live in Florida. After receiving her acceptance letter from Maine, as well as a few other law schools far from Florida she made a trip to Portland and fell in love with the vibrant city and recognized she wanted to join the engaged students she met on her visit. She never looked back and has been a “Mainer” since arriving at Maine Law in the fall of 1995.
