I chose Michigan Law because of its strong alumni network and small LLM class, which allowed me to get to know all my classmates on a deep level.
What Makes Michigan Law Special
Michigan Law offers the ideal blend of top-tier academics and a vibrant collegiate experience. You’ll have the opportunity to learn from some of the nation’s leading law professors while also enjoying classic American traditions, like tailgating before a football game.
