Ave Maria School of Law - Naples (FL)

5 /5 Crescente Pérez: Excellent law school! The quality of the academics and the warmth of the community are unparalleled. Ave Maria Law is truly committed to forming lawyers who serve the common good and influence the culture.

5 /5 Erica Amor: In todays world competition is everywhere. Success can be measured on how well you beat out the competition. Like every potential law student out there, we research our options when deciding which school to attend. We compare stats, review commentary, and ask others their thoughts about the schools we are interested in. One of my main focal points when deciding which school I was going to attend, was quality. Ave Maria gives their students that strong, quality education that potential law students should be looking for in schools. The professors have the time and dedication to give their students the proper attention to succeed - youre not just a student ID number. Additionally, the school focuses on continuing good moral values in their students. So when Im asked why I chose to attend Ave Maria, my answer is simple! I chose Ave Maria because I wanted to graduate from a school that produces quality attorneys.

5 /5 Linzie Roesler: Im a current law student in my 3L year. My class started out with a little over 100 students and we still have 84 remaining some will graduate in December and some next May. I chose Ave Maria because it is a small school and I knew it was the right fit for me. The professors at Ave Maria really care about their students. They actually know all of their students names which is unheard of. The professors want to see you succeed and will take the time to sit with you one on one to accomplish that. All of our deans are outstanding and take time to listen to our concerns. They will meet with you one on one. This law school doesnt see you as just a number or dollar sign they see you as a person. Ave Maria is a private Catholic law school, but there are many students of different religions that attend Ave Maria. This is a law school that doesnt care what religion you are they care about graduating knowledgeable ethical attorneys.

5 /5 Jay Jones: This is a great school. I see the few bad reviews are not from actual students but lazy people, frustrated by the admissions process. I am a student and I was initially hesitant about attending the school because it is catholic and relatively new for a law school. (20 years) If you are religious (any type) they are great. If you are not religious and just want a good law school they are also great. They dont force any religious classes or work on you at all. Every teacher begins every class with a prayer. Usually just a 15 second hail mary or our father. When they discuss topics they just discuss the law, even with topics like abortion law you would never know the professors personal beliefs or opinions, they are very professional. Its law school so its incredibly hard from start to finish, but if you can get in, I would recommend attending this school.

5 /5 Krystal H: Great experience at this law school. It is not true that they favor "devout Catholics." They favor hard work and diligence, because that is what it will take to be successful. They actually do a lot to help struggling students succeed, as well as helping students find placements for internships/externships. If you are choosing this school because you think it will be easier, it wont be. However, I am Christian, not Catholic, and have been impressed with my success. I love how the school emphasizes the Catholic teachings and natural laws place in the legal system. Fides et ratio! Faith and reason are required to be a good attorney, and that is missing from so much of what is being taught in law schools today. I am thankful I chose Ave Maria School of Law!
