The Blessed Virgin Mary has many titles, though from a lawyer’s perspective, none more important than “Most Gracious Advocate.” Ave Maria School of Law Advocate takes its inspiration from this title and from the recognition that lawyers are at their core, advocates. Ave Maria School of Law Office of External Affairs publishes the Advocate.
