The JD Program

Spend time with the basics. Being a lawyer is challenging - and rewarding - work. We’ve calibrated our 1L curriculum to cover both the fundamentals of legal theory and the realities of modern legal practice.
Be curious. Once your 1L year is over, you’ll be free to select most of your own courses for the next two years. MSU Law offers around 140 different electives every year.
Choose your path. If you already know your niche, you'll have plenty of opportunities to develop your interests, and to pick classes that align with your ambitions.
Work with experts. Our faculty members are passionate about their areas of research and practice, and our electives represent the impressive range of their interests.
