Ave Maria Law School invokes ministerial exception inwrongfultermination suit

[David Cruz]

Writing only of Steve's Rumsfeld argument, the Court did there note  
that recruiters did not become a permanent part of a law school  
community.  That could distinguish a tenured or tenure-track faculty  
member (though I express no opinion herein about whether that  
distinction should lead to a different outcome).
