Michigan State University College of Law was founded as Detroit College of Law and was the first law school in Detroit. It moved to East Lansing in 1997, and took upon it the name of the state university. But it only recently announced it would become part of that university in 2018.
The school offers several clinics with 10 clinical practice areas and 150 externship sites domestically and abroad. The moot court and advocacy board give students the opportunity to argue before real judges and attorneys to help polish their skills. Its moot court program is one of the tops in the region. The school’s externship offerings include a semester-long program in Washington, D.C., as well as placements throughout the country.
Michigan State offers a focus in 13 practice areas, including four areas where it is a top law school — intellectual property (A), business law (A-), family law (A-) and taxation (B+).
It offers a U.S.-Canadian dual degree that allows graduates to take the bar exam in both countries.
