School Law Seminars, Workshops and Publications

School Law Seminars, Workshops and Publications

SchoolLaw.com was developed by Drummond Woodsum, a law firm in Portland, Maine, Portsmouth and Manchester, New Hampshire, which has represented school districts for over 30 years. The firm’s school law practice group is committed to providing the best possible representation of school districts and helping to improve the education of children by providing services school leaders need to do their jobs effectively. SchoolLaw.com developed as a natural extension of this service philosophy.

Please note: SchoolLaw.com is intended to provide helpful information on topics of general interest to school leaders. This web site does not provide or substitute for legal advice and is not rendering legal services. If specific legal advice or assistance is required, the services of a competent attorney must always be sought.

Web-based Services

We developed SchoolLaw.com as a compliment to our school law practice, designing the site specifically for school leaders to provide them access to the services and information they need to do their jobs effectively.    The site includes a number of links of interest to educators and administrators:

  • A comprehensive Calendar of Events, which includes many seminars, workshops and training webinars for educators on a wide range of topics
  • An extensive listing of Essential Links for school administrators and personnel
  • A catalog of Drummond Woodsum’s School Law-related Publications
  • Subscription access to the hundreds of School Law Advisory articles which are conveniently key word searchable for easy access to the information school leaders need at their fingertips 

With over one million visitors a year ServingSchools.com has become the # 1 source of education-related employment opportunities in Maine.  This online marketplace provides member schools and agencies a fast and easy way to get the word out about their job vacancies.  The site lists more Maine education-related jobs than any other website on the Internet today, and is completely free to job seekers from around the world.  Schools and agencies pay a reasonable annual membership to post unlimited job vacancies.  New for 2012 is the expansion of the site to serve New Hampshire schools and agencies as well.
