Michigan State University College of Law Summary

The following paragraph provided courtesy of wikipedia.

The Michigan State University College of Law, established in 1891 as the Detroit College of Law, was the first law school in the Detroit, Michigan area and the second in the U.S. state of Michigan. Although it operates as a constituent college of the university, the college of law remains financially independent and receives no state or university funding. The MSU College of Law excels considerably in the areas of intellectual property and communications law, for which it was ranked among the top 20 schools by U.S. News and World Report for 2007. Law journals at the law school include the Michigan State Law Review, the school’s flagship journal, and the Journal of Business and Securities Law, one of the only nationally published student-run law journals dedicated to the leading issues confronting attorneys in the worlds of business/corporation law and securities law.
