Colleagues describe her as "Amy was the teaching assistant for my Legal Writing and Research course at UMaine. We (1Ls at the time) saw Amy more than our own writing professor. She is brilliant. Amy has the ability to quickly absorb convoluted legal material and break it down for individuals with non-legal backgrounds. She can also accomplish this task while remaining patient, kind and humorous. Instead of providing vague feedback to her students, Amy left super detailed comments on our briefs and met with some of us for over an hour. She is also very approachable. I came to Amy as a somewhat overwhelmed 1L. She provided assurance in a nurturing way that "everything will eventually click" and told me not to worry. Not everyone has the ability to provide calm to others. Amy possesses this gift." and "Amy Olfene is one of the most driven, effective, and intelligent people I've ever met. From the first day of class to our last semester together, I've watched Amy tackle problems and affect positive change, both within the student-body and the institutional framework of Maine Law.
It has been both a pleasure to study with her and an honor to have learned from her when I've had the opportunity. Of all of the amazing people I'm graduating with, I'm most excited to see what Ms. Olfene is able to accomplish with her education. Her ability to coalition build and focus the many talents of those around her on a single goal is unparalleled.
Stated simply, Ms. Olfene is the best of us and I have no doubt that she will shape the legal community for the better when she begins to practice."
