Resumo

On April 8, 1999, Tom Monaghan's foundation, the Ave Maria Foundation, announced the formation of Ave Maria School of Law. It was scheduled to open in August 2000, would initially be funded by the financial generosity of the foundation, and would be governed and operated, not by a Catholic diocese or religious order like the more than twenty other Catholic law schools, but by an independent board of Catholic laity and clergy. The founding Dean of the Ave Maria School of Law sets out the history and background of founding this new law school in Ann Arbor, Michigan.
