Law School
Established in 1927, the Law School became a part of the university in 1937. It is the only public law school in Detroit and one of just two public law schools in Michigan. 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 2012 fall enrollment in the Law School is 555 students. Total enrollment includes 473 full-time and 82 part-time students.
