Detroit Mercy Law offers a unique and innovative curriculum that complements traditional theory- and doctrine-based course work with practical learning. The program requires students to complete at least one clinic, one upper-level writing course, one global/international perspectives course, and one Law Firm Program course (an innovative simulated law firm practicum). Detroit Mercy Law also boasts a Dual J.D. program with the University of Windsor in Canada, allowing students to earn both an American and a Canadian law degree in three years and to gain a comprehensive understanding of two distinct legal systems.
The School of Law is located at the Riverfront Campus in Downtown Detroit, within walking distance of federal, state, and municipal courts, the region’s largest law firms, and major corporations such as General Motors, Quicken Loans, and Comerica Bank. The School is also uniquely situated two blocks from the Detroit-Windsor Tunnel, an international border crossing linking Detroit with Windsor and Canada. Detroit offers a dynamic variety of culinary, cultural, entertainment, and sporting attractions. Learn more at https://www.nytimes.com/2017/11/20/travel/detroit-michigan-downtown.html.
