Both Coral Gables and Miami Gardens, inland areas where the University of Miami School of Law and the St. Thomas University School of Law are located, respectively, reportedly saw only minor damage such as down trees and street lights. The entire University of Miami campus was evacuated last week in anticipation of a direct hit from Irma, which later veered toward Florida’s west coast.

Three law schools on that coast were in or near Irma’s direct path. The first to encounter Irma head-on was Ave Maria School of Law in Naples. President and Dean Kevin Cieply rode out the storm on campus with students and other members of the law school community, according to the school’s Facebook page.
