Ave Maria School Of Law Gets OK To Move To Florida
ADVERTISEMENT
Published: February 21, 2009
ANN ARBOR, Mich. - The Ave Maria School of Law says it has received approval from the American Bar Association to relocate from Michigan to southwest Florida.
The school said in a statement this week that it will retain full accreditation as it relocates. Ave Maria University's board of governors voted in 2007 to move the law school from Michigan.
Law school classes are to start in August in Florida.
Thomas S. Monaghan, founder of Ann Arbor-based Domino's Pizza Inc., pledged funding to construct Ave Maria University. The Catholic school is located between Naples and Immokalee.
The former owner of the Detroit Tigers initially intended to build a permanent campus for Ave Maria in Michigan, but he couldn't secure the necessary rezoning rights.
