NAPLES, FL: (December 19, 2023) –Ave Maria School of Law has been recognized in The Newman Guide, the gold standard for securing faithful Catholic education.

Since 2007, The Cardinal Newman Society has recognized model Catholic colleges in The Newman Guide. It has earned a trusted reputation for vigorously vetting Catholic colleges, ensuring they have solid policies and standards that uphold Catholic identity from academics and athletics to faculty hiring and campus life. The Newman Guide, which reaches more than 75,000 families online each year, includes faithful Catholic elementary, secondary, and graduate school options for Catholic families.

The Newman Guide helps Catholic parents and students find a pathway to a seamless, faithful Catholic education, and it recognizes model institutions that refuse to compromise their Catholic mission.

“We are thrilled to announce that Ave Maria School of Law has been recognized by the esteemed Cardinal Newman Society,” said Ave Law’s Dean and CEO, John M. Czarnetzky.  “This recognition is not just a testament to our unwavering commitment to excellence in legal education but also a reflection of our dedication to integrating faith and reason in the pursuit of justice and truth.”

According to Elizabeth Westhoff, Associate Dean for Communications and External Affairs, “The Cardinal Newman Society, renowned for its advocacy of faithful Catholic education, acknowledges institutions that exemplify high academic and spiritual development standards. Being recognized by such a prestigious body underscores our commitment to nurturing a learning environment that not only imparts legal expertise but also fosters moral and ethical values in future legal professionals.”

Founded in 1999, Ave Law is consistently ranked as The Princeton Review’s “Most Conservative Law School,” preLaw’s “Most Devout Law School,” and as one of Princeton Review’s “Best Law Schools.” Ave Law provides students a traditional legal education while emphasizing how the law intersects with the Catholic intellectual tradition and natural law philosophy.
