I hope your years of legal study here are challenging and gratifying. The Student Handbook is designed to introduce you to the Ave Maria School of Law community and to provide guidance. It should serve as a reference for policies and procedures and available services. New students will find it helpful as an orientation tool to the community and to the study of law. This book cannot begin to duplicate the information available to you by speaking directly to Law School administrators. If you have a question or if a problem arises, call a member of our administration. Our names, telephone numbers, and areas of responsibility are listed within. Our size permits personal support for you and your fellow students and I
