All of us in the Admissions Office know how important the law school admissions process is to our applicants, and we take every aspect of their experience extremely seriously. While much of our work is invisible to the applicant, we work as a team to make sure our prospective students are treated with courtesy and care.
Meet Us
The Michigan Law School admissions staff would love to meet you and answer all your law school application questions live! We are offering a variety of ways for you to learn more about the admissions process and the Law School.
We hope to meet you soon!

Schedule a Law School Visit
If you would like to visit Michigan Law, we would be happy to welcome you! We can arrange an individual 30 minute appointment with an admissions counselor in person or via phone or Zoom. Please contact us at law.jd.admissions@umich.edu or 734.764.0537 if you'd like to schedule an appointment and we will respond to your request within one business day. We are generally available for appointments Monday to Friday , 9:30AM to 4:30PM.
Use our online scheduling system to register for an in-person tour or class visit, each of which can be scheduled up to three weeks in advance. We recommend registering as early as you can once you solidify your travel plans (Mondays and Fridays tend to be the busiest days of the week!); however, if you are interested in scheduling a tour or class visit within two business days, please call our office at 734.764.0537 rather than using the online scheduling system. Because classroom space is limited, attendance for class visits is reserved for prospective students, applicants, and admitted students only. Please note that we are unable to accommodate same-day appointments. If you register for a tour or class visit and an individual appointment, we will attempt to schedule these events as close in time as possible.
Michigan Law is a mask-friendly space; we welcome you to wear a mask, and we ask for such decisions to be respected.
If you have questions about visiting or are interested in arranging a tour or virtual information session for a group, please contact us at law.jd.admissions@umich.edu or 734.764.0537.
