Monsignor Romelus, the bishop of Jirimie, Haiti, and Father Eustache, a lawyer as well as a priest, came to the U.S. in search of allies in legal education. Romelus and Eustache founded the college of law in Jirimie in 1995. Recently, 26 lawyers graduated in the school's first class. That number is a drop in the bucket compared to the army of graduates American law schools pump out each year, yet for a community previously claiming just three practicing lawyers, an additional 26 is more like a monsoon.

Monsignor Willy Romelus, the bishop of J�r�mie in southwest Haiti, and Father Jomanas Eustache, a lawyer as well as a priest, came to San Francisco on a mission.
It was not a mission of the religious sort — though the law school they operate in J�r�mie is, like most Haitian establishments, affiliated with the Catholic church.
