	Maine Lemon Law Consumer Guide
		The law defines a "lemon" as a vehicle either purchased or leased in Maine, which has a defect that substantially impairs the use, safety or value of the vehicle, and which has not been repaired after a reasonable number of attempts.
		The Lemon Law also covers vehicles that are resold during this "term of protection." The only new vehicles not covered are those purchased for a governmental agency, a business which registers three or more vehicles, commercial vehicles weighing 8,500 pounds or more, or vehicles purchased in order to resell them.
		The Lemon Law "term of protection" is the time period during which your vehicle can qualify as a "lemon." This lemon protection period is defined as the length of the manufacturer's express warranties, 2 years from the date of delivery to the original consumer buyer, or 18,000 miles of use, whichever comes first.

		Before I came to law school, I was only dimly aware of the concept "law review." I remember thinking it was some kind of honor like Phi Beta Kappa.

		Although I did not enjoy cite checking, or "spading" as it was called, any better than anyone else, I did love "building a wall," the process by which we gathered all the reporters, treatises, and law reviews cited in each piece and placed them on their own special book case.
