Ave Maria Law: One Client That's Still Spending Big On Legal Fees

By Dan Filler

ADVERTISEMENTS

Ave-maria-law-school-naples-florida Ave Maria Law School has been through a lot of challenges in its young life.  The good news is that it has a wealthy benefactor in the person of Domino's Pizza founder Tom Monaghan.  The bad news is that Ave Maria, and Monaghan, are apparently shelling out the bucks for attorney fees.  The Naples News (the school's new "local press") reports that the school paid over $1 million in legal fees last year.  The law school's audit suggests that a significant part of this budget is dedicated to defending the school in a wrongful termination suit involving three former Michigan-based law profs - Stephen Safranek, Edward Lyons, and Philip Pucillo.  (The complaint in that case is here.)
