Practice Management

The Law Schools Of Michigan

By chucknewton

Michigan has a number of different and unusual law schools.  Detroit Mercy is one of the most innovative in the range of teaching, creating joint degrees to allow you to actually practice law in Canada and Mexico.  Thomas M. Cooley is an affordable community law school now located in several different towns.  Of course the University of Michigan is considered one of the most prestigious of law schools.  I will point out that Ava Maria, although it provides a lot of scholarships, is about to take a powder and move to the University and township in Florida that bears its name and was designed for the school.  What an interesting concept, although a loss for Michigan.  The point is, however, that there is no shortage of opportunities in Michigan to go to law school.  The schools are:
