The Judge Frank M. Coffin Lecture on Law and Public Service honors the late Judge Frank M. Coffin, longtime federal judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit, former member of Congress, renowned leader and mentor in public service, and beloved friend of the University of Maine School of Law. The Lecture is presented annually by a distinguished speaker during the fall semester.
In recognition of Judge Coffin’s centennial year, the 27th annual Judge Frank M. Coffin Lecture on Law and Public Service focused on Judge Coffin’s own life and his substantial contributions to the public good.
On Thursday, October 17, Dr. Richard J. Maiman, Judge Coffin’s biographer and Emeritus Professor of Political Science at the University of Southern Maine, presented the 2019 Coffin Lecture at the Portland Museum of Art.
