Law School
Established in 1927, the Law School became a part of the university in 1937. It is the only public law school in the nation’s 11th largest metropolitan area and one of just two public law schools in Michigan. Located on a beautiful 196-acre campus in the heart of Michigan’s legal, economic and cultural capital, the Law School blends cutting-edge legal theory with real-world practice skills. Its graduates serve at the highest levels of law and government. Its faculty members are dedicated teachers and distinguished scholars known nationally and internationally for their contributions to legal study. Its students display a variety of backgrounds and interests. And its location — minutes away from courts, major law firms, government agencies, corporate headquarters and the nation’s busiest international border — offers incomparable opportunities in employment, hands-on experience and public service.
The 2008 fall enrollment in the Law School is 660 students. Total enrollment includes 518 full-time and 142 part-time students.
