"I emphasize to my students that the fundamental norms of justice must always remain the 'beacon lights to guide the policies of men and nations.' This reflects the mission of Ave Maria — to prepare students so that they will effectively serve their future clients with technical competence while also encouraging them to improve the conditions of those who are less privileged."

Andrew Bodoh ’10 is an associate with Thomas H. Roberts and Associates, P.C. in Richmond, VA. “AMSL has helped me compete in this job market by allowing me to develop my research, writing, and editing skills through Law Review; my trial and oral advocacy skills through a Moot Court competition; and by giving me connections in legal circles to develop my resume.  This is in addition to the solid legal education provided in the classroom, with a broad core curriculum, an excellent writing program, and useful electives like Complex Federal Criminal Litigation.  I am using those skills now as an attorney.”
