The Michigan Telecommunications and Technology Law Review
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
The Michigan Telecommunications and Technology Law Review (MTTLR) is one of six legal journals published under the auspices of the University of Michigan Law School. MTTLR is dedicated to promoting discourse and thought on the interrelated legal, social, business and public policy issues raised by technology. MTTLR provides a forum for examination of the concerns and tensions between law and technology. The articles in MTTLR advance legal reasoning and often serve as a catalyst for critical analysis of the complex issues that deal with development of the law and technology. The publication features a staff of over 50 and has offices in the University of Michigan's Legal Research Building.
MTTLR was founded as a joint venture between the University of Michigan's Law School and Ross Business School in 1994 and was (one of) the first electronic law journals. Currently, MTTLR is published twice a year electronically and in print. In 2007 MTTLR launched a scholarly blog featuring posts written by student editors, guest writers, and faculty contributors.

For decades, Michigan Law has been regarded as one of the top law schools in the country.

Along with Boalt Hall (University of California, Berkeley, School of Law), Michigan Law is ranked number one in the country among public law schools. Admission to the Law School is highly selective. Only one in five applicants to Michigan Law gains acceptance.

98% of the graduating class of 2006 was employed by graduation day, earning a median starting salary of $125,000. Additionally, 750 employers were present in Ann Arbor for the Law School’s Early Interview Week in August of 2006. Since 1991, Michigan Law has been the top public law school for United States Supreme Court Clerkships, placing 23 graduates in this position.

[edit] History of Michigan Law School
Michigan Law School was founded in 1859. Unlike other law schools whose programs developed slowly, Michigan quickly rose to national prominence. By 1870, Michigan was the largest law school in the country. The Law School boasts a long history of graduating women and minorities. In 1870 Gabriel Franklin Hargo graduated from Michigan as the second African American to graduate from a US law school. The school continued this tradition in 1871 when Sarah Killgore, a Michigan Law graduate, became the first woman to pass the bar. [1]
[edit] The University of Michigan Law Quad

The Lawyer's Club, Law Quadrangle, and Library reading room.
The Romanesque buildings that comprise the Law Quadrangle are the foundation of one of the most picturesque law campuses in the nation. Built between 1924 and 1933 the four original buildings comprising the Cook Law Quadrangle were constructed using funds donated by William Cook, an alumnus of the school. The original buildings were: (1) Hutchins Hall, the main academic building named for former Dean of the Law School and President of the University, Harry Burns Hutchins; (2) The Legal Research Building, likely the largest building in the world devoted exclusively to a law library; (3) The John Cook Dormitory, providing housing for 352 students; and (4) The Lawyer’s Club, a meeting space for the residents of the Quad, highlighted by a Great Lounge, and a stunning dining room with a high-vaulted ceiling, an oak floor, and dark oak paneling.[2] In 2007, the University of Michigan Reading Room was named 94th on a list of "American's Favorite Buildings."[3] The building is one of only three law buildings on the list.

[edit] Affirmative Action litigation
In 2003, the United States Supreme Court upheld the University of Michigan Law School's affirmative action policy. In its opinion in Grutter v. Bollinger, the Court held that the United States Constitution permits the Law School to use racial background as a criterion in deciding whether or not to admit an applicant. However, in November 2006, voters in the State of Michigan made affirmative action illegal by passing Proposal 2 (Michigan Civil Rights Initiative), a state-wide referendum amending the Michigan Constitution. The amendment, however, contains an exception for actions that are mandated by federal law or that are necessary in order for an institution to receive federal funding. [4] The legality of Proposal 2 is the subject of pending litigation.[5] The Dean of the Law School, however, has publicly stated that while the Law School "will carefully monitor developments in the courts," the Law School "will modify [its] admissions process, . . . so that the factors listed in Proposal 2 will have no effect on decisionmaking."[6]
