Michigan Law has also placed 33 of its graduates on the state's Supreme Court, including six who served as Chief Justice.

By 1870, Michigan was the largest law school in the country. In 1870, Gabriel Franklin Hargo graduated from Michigan as the second African-American to graduate from law school in the United States. In 1871 Sarah Killgore, a Michigan Law graduate, became the first woman to both graduate from law school and be admitted to the bar.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Michigan's First Woman Lawyer )〕 Although the law school is part of the public University of Michigan, less than 2 percent of the law school's expenses are covered by state funds.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Nannes Third-Year Challenge: Frequently Asked Questions )〕 The remainder (97–98% of Michigan Law's budget) is supplied by private gifts, tuition, and endowments. As of 2009, Michigan Law is engaging in a $102 million enterprise, constructing an addition to the law building that remains loyal to the English Gothic style. This enterprise is fully funded by endowments and private gifts.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=A New Legal Landscape )〕 2009 also marked the school's sesquicentennial celebration. As a part of the festivities, Chief Justice John Roberts visited the school and participated in the groundbreaking ceremony for the new building. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「University of Michigan Law School」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
