Ave Maria School of Law, a Roman Catholic law school, is located in Ann Arbor, Michigan. In the 2006-2007 academic year, there were 380 students enrolled from a variety of states, countries, and religious backgrounds. Ave Maria espouses a natural law philosophy and teaches law within the context of the Catholic intellectual tradition. Politically, its student body and faculty tend to lean in a conservative direction. The School of Law's Board of Governors has approved a move after the graduation of the class of 2009 to the newly planned town of Ave Maria, about 30 miles east of Naples, Florida, where the new campus of Ave Maria University, another institution supported by Domino's Pizza founder's Tom Monaghan's Ave Maria Foundation, is to be built. This is a matter of controversy within the school, as many of the students and faculty are opposed to such a move.
