This guide seeks to help the researcher understand how the legal profession in Michigan is governed. To that end committees, boards, and commissions are mentioned as well as sources for rules and cases. The Supreme Court is empowered by statute and the constitution to regulate lawyers and judges in the state of Michigan.

The guide is organized according to the topics listed to the left, in the guide outline.

In the sections of the guide focusing on print materials, the "location" provides the call number for a work. Clicking on the title takes a user to the relevant entry in the catalog. Where possible, guide sections about statutes link to the appropriate law.

Please contact us if you have any questions or need any further guidance. Being asked for reference help is no bother--it's why we're here.

John Michaud is a reference librarian at the Brennan Library on the Lansing campus.
