Ave Maria School of Law moves to Southwest Florida
Ave Maria School of Law has moved to the town of Ave Maria, FL, located between Naples and Immokalee, from its previous location in Ann Arbor, MI. The school will open its doors in fall of 2009. The move was prompted by the emerging economic viability of the Ave Maria, FL, area. The law school's relocation to Collier County marks a new and promising era for both the school and the community. The school's board of governors spent five years debating whether moving to Florida would be beneficial. The board is also trying to secure the American Bar Association's acceptance of the move. Established in 1999, the law school received full ABA accreditation in 2005. Since its inception, Ave Maria School of Law has followed a rigorous course of legal education based on the Catholic intellectual tradition. Its student body comes from 49 states and abroad as well as more than 200 colleges and universities. The relocated school will attempt to utilize expanded opportunities for post-graduation employment and student externships in Florida.

Gabriel joins UCLA
Stuart A. Gabriel, Director of the USC Lusk Center for Real Estate and the Lusk Chair in Real Estate for the last 17 years, will join University of California, Los Angeles, on June 1. UCLA's Ziman Center is a joint program run by the School of Law and the Anderson School of Management. Gabriel will take up his post as a professor of finance, Arden Realty Chair, and Director of the Richard S. Ziman Center for Real Estate at UCLA. A former staff economist for the Federal Reserve and ranked number one among top business school professors, Gabriel is widely acclaimed for his research in fields such as real-estate capital markets, mortgage default risk, and housing economics. He is also a joint head of the Ross Minority Program in Real Estate Finance and Development, a program that helps to train local would-be developers.

University of Detroit's law school to incorporate big-firm training
At the University of Detroit Mercy School of Law, beginning with the coming school year, students will have to study large-firm practice as part of their course requirements. All third-year students at the school will have to participate in the new Law Firm Program, a series of courses that replicate legal practice in a big firm. The program, which is designed to enhance students' practical skills, was prepared with the help of lawyers working at some of the nation's most prestigious firms. The move, said Mark Gordon, the school's dean, comes as an answer to criticisms heaped on law schools by legal circles that state law school graduates are too inexperienced at practicing law. A recent Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching report asking law schools to improve their practical-skills training and ethics instruction accused schools of paying little attention to students' abilities to employ legal thinking while practicing law.

The program identified and discussed important issues relating to the status of the democracy-environment interface in developed and developing countries. It also addressed the growing demand for research, teaching, and capacity-building in the field of democratic environmental governance.
