Law.com - Embattled Ave Maria School of Law Wins Approval for Controversial Move to Florida

Ave Maria School of Law has won approval from the American Bar Association to relocate to Florida.

The ABA’s “acquiescence,” which allows the school to move from Ann Arbor, Mich., to Naples, Fla., means it will retain full accreditation after the relocation, which is slated to occur in early July.

I recall a few years ago when we first heard about the plan to open a Catholic Law powerhouse only 125 miles away that some of us did worry some about whether the new school might interfere with local fundraising, and maybe to an extent recruiting of students.

Given all Ave Maria’s terrible troubles, and everything else going on in the world, that doesn’t seem like one of our top five worries at present.
