“Don't let location fool you. The Moot Courtroom of the University on Maine Law School provides a congenial setting to explore the topics of creativity and copyright with experts from both the artistic and legal camps.

Last winter I drove up from Massachusetts to attend a single seminar on Fine Arts and Graphics. My initial plan was to attend only this one seminar but the combination of a comfortable setting and the intelligent format changed my plan. The first seminar was so informative that I immediately enrolled for three more.

This series has been outstanding in content, participants and presentation. I look forward to future programs."
