Michigan State University College of Law was established in 1891, originally as the Detroit College of Law, making it one of the oldest continuously operated independent law schools in the nation. The College is a privately controlled, non‑profit, co‑educational institution devoted exclusively to professional education in law. The Law College was fully accredited by the American Bar Association in 1941 and has been a member of the American Association of Law Schools since 1946.

For 117 years, the Law College has provided outstanding educational training opportunities for qualified applicants seeking to enter the legal profession. It continues, through its graduates, to make vital contributions to the legal, commercial and industrial communities throughout the nation. More than seven thousand of today's attorneys, judges, public officials and business executives are graduates of this eminent college.

The College, a private law school, affiliated in 1995 with Michigan State University, a public university, for the benefit of both institutions. The law school has added the multiple disciplinary and global dimensions of MSU to its core professional curriculum.

The Law College makes its home in the heart of Michigan State University in a new facility. This 180,000‑square‑foot, multi‑story building houses comprehensive student services such as admissions, financial aid and career services as well as state of the art law library, a moot courtroom, a computer laboratory, and classrooms designed to offer students the highest quality learning atmosphere. All classrooms are fitted with technology sufficient to allow students to use lap top computers during class. Moreover, students have access to the MSU campus network, the Internet, e‑mail, critical legal bases, and law libraries around the world.
