Abstract
The struggle is real for the three law schools at the heart of Amanda Hollis-Brusky and Joshua Wilson’s latest work, as their subtitle indicates. In a book that brings together thorough institutional histories, insightful interviews, and compelling data, the authors examine three law schools founded for the explicit purpose of advancing the legal objectives of Christian conservatism: Regent Law School (founded by the Pentecostal media mogul Pat Robertson in 1986), Ave Maria Law School (founded in 2000 by the Catholic Thomas Monaghan, who made his fortune with Domino’s Pizza), and Liberty Law School (founded in 2004 by the Baptist former Moral Majority leader Jerry Falwell, Sr.). Yet instead of initiating a sea change in American law, these institutions often struggled just to stay afloat. In the early 2000s, Regent had an abysmal Bar exam pass rate for its graduates. In 2016, Ave Maria was sanctioned by the American Bar Association for its lax admission standards. And of the mere 311 citations to articles in the Liberty University Law Review, 41 percent came from authors at Liberty.
