Murray Plumb & Murray is pleased to welcome Meredith Cook, who brings considerable experience and a strong commitment to public service to our Litigation, Education, and Employment law teams.
Meredith joins the firm after serving as a Judicial Law Clerk to the Honorable Stacey D. Neumann of the U.S. District Court for the District of Maine. She previously clerked for the Maine Judicial Branch, supporting multiple jurists on the Maine Superior Court and the Business and Consumer Docket where she gained extensive experience with complex civil and commercial litigation matters.
“Meredith brings exceptional analytical skills, a strong commitment to public service, and a deep understanding of the issues facing Maine people,” says Michael Traister, Managing Partner at Murray Plumb & Murray. “We are thrilled to have her join us as we continue to grow and strengthen our litigation, education, and employment law practices.”
Meredith is admitted to practice in Maine and the District of Maine. Her dedication to the community is evident in her past service as co-chair of the City of Portland’s Rental Housing Advisory Committee. She remains deeply invested in advancing access to justice and fair housing in Maine.
She earned her J.D. from the University of Maine School of Law, graduating at the top of her class. During her time there, she served as Production and Research Editor of the Maine Law Review and won several CALI Excellence Awards. Meredith also earned a master’s degree in Policy, Planning, and Management from the University of Southern Maine at the end of her first year of law school, and holds a bachelor’s degree in political science from Iowa State University. Prior to law school, she contributed to statewide advocacy through her work with Preble Street’s Maine Hunger Initiative, partnering with community leaders and legislators to advance anti-hunger policies.
