JD Admissions
JD Class Profiles
At Michigan Law, our people and approach set us apart. Bonds formed here last a lifetime because our students and faculty believe that one person’s success doesn’t have to come at someone else’s expense. So as you think about law school, consider not just where, but how and with whom you want to spend the next three years.
Graduate Degree Programs
Michigan Law has a long and proud tradition of welcoming international students. The Law School offers three graduate degree options for foreign-trained lawyers. See below for more information on each.
Michigan Law at a Glance
Michigan Law is one of the world’s premier legal institutions, but we take particular pride in the fact that our students truly enjoy their time here, even as they are immersed in a rigorous educational environment.
In part, this is because we attract people who really care about community, and who want to be engaged with their fellow students. We also offer a breadth of curricular resources, including the opportunity to do graduate work at our 100 top-ranked schools and departments.

Parks
To call Ann Arbor the quintessential college town is an understatement; it was, for me, the ideal place to study law. The law school is housed in one of the world's most beautiful college quads. It's walking distance to pedestrian-friendly streets, dotted with charming bars, restaurants, and book stores. The campus is anchored by the largest stadium in the country, which on fall Saturdays turns Ann Arbor into a revelrous ocean of maize and blue.
