Something Interesting: Top 10 Whitest Law Schools (click here)

I am always amazed at what I find on the internet. I came across this website that lists the top 10 whitest schools in the United States. It ranks the Univeristy of Maine Law School, in Portland, Maine, as the second whitest in the nation.

Knowing that people of color, other than white, are underrepresentated at the USM Law School, in an article written in
Maine Today, the law school is making attempts to correst this by reaching to other communities in the Portland area where the school is located.

Reading the discussion remarks at the end of the website is also interesting. Although they never say it explicitly, in a number of the discussion remarks (2 and 5), Maine is somewhat an anomoly because of it's high white population.
