[edit] Education
Rice received the B.A. degree from the College of the Holy Cross, the J.D. from Boston College Law School and the LL.M. and J.S.D. from New York University. He served in the Marine Corps and is a Lt. Col. in the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve (Ret.).

[edit] Ave Maria Controversy
Rice was one of the co-founders of Ave Maria School of Law in Ann Arbor, Michigan. As a visiting law professor at Ave Maria and a member of its board of governors, he dissented against the school moving to Florida, an idea made popular by the school's financier, Tom Monaghan. Because of his harsh dissent, the school changed its bylaws and removed Rice from the governing board and fired him as a visiting professor. He still remains a professor at Notre Dame Law School. [4]
