About the Lawyers Club

• Guest Rooms

  The Club rents sev­en guest rooms with pri­vate baths for the con­ve­nience of stu­dents, fac­ul­ty, and guests. Advance reser­va­tions are required and may be made up to three months in advance.

  Please con­tact the desk (734.764.1116) dur­ing week­day busi­ness hours.

• Din­ing

  Com­plete lunch­es and din­ners may be pur­chased at the Club. Non-res­i­­dents may pur­chase indi­vid­ual meals or may open a pre­paid deb­it sys­tem account called Entrée Plus. Entrée Plus allows stu­dents to eat meals as they wish and have the reduced fee deduct­ed from their account through using their MCard. Entrée Plus is a Uni­ver­si­­ty-wide sys­tem and may also be used for oth­er pur­chas­es on or near campus.

  Please see the Club’s Main Desk or U‑M Hous­ing for fur­ther details and spe­cif­ic meal prices. Meals are served for lunch and din­ner dai­ly, except Sat­ur­day, when there is no evening meal.

  Lawyers Club Menu

• Take a Pro­fes­sor to Lunch

  This pro­gram, spon­sored by the Law School’s Office of Life, allows stu­dents to invite a guest fac­ul­ty mem­ber to join them for lunch in the Club’s din­ing room. OSL cov­ers the cost of lunch for non-res­i­­dent stu­dents and guest professors. 

  Stu­dents can make a request by email­ing the Club’s Lead­er­ship Team at lawyersclub@​umich.​edu to pre-arrange. Stu­dents should pro­vide the date of lunch, pro­fes­sor name, and group count (Lawyers Club Res­i­dents do not need to be includ­ed in this total as they have a meal plan).
  A min­i­mum of 48 hours is required so that the prop­er entry pass­es can be issued for admittance.

• Brown Bag Passes

  Club res­i­dents may spon­sor a non-res­i­­dent who brings their lunch from home and wish­es to be their guest in the din­ing room.

  The main desk will issue a guest pass to the spon­sor, which allows the guest to bring their bag lunch into the din­ing hall and receive a com­pli­men­ta­ry bev­er­age. Brown Bag pass­es are avail­able Mon­day through Fri­day dur­ing lunch only.

  First year stu­dents who do not yet have a spon­sor may see the Direc­tor, Diane Nafranowicz.

• Reserv­ing Event Space

  Stu­dent groups may inquire about reserv­ing pub­lic spaces in the Club for meet­ings, recep­tions, etc. All such events must be approved by the Club’s Direc­tor and meet restric­tions for room capac­i­ty, cater­ing, secu­ri­ty arrange­ments, etc.

  Please see the direc­tor a min­i­mum of two weeks in advance.

Rooms and Furnishings

• About the Rooms

  Each of the Lawyers Club stu­dent rooms is unique. The Lawyers Club fur­ni­ture is built-in and there­fore can­not be removed. Rooms are let as fur­nished as the Club does not store fur­ni­ture from stu­dent rooms, nor does the Club have stor­age for stu­dent belongings.

  All beds are at a height of approx­i­mate­ly 22 inch­es allow­ing stor­age of stu­dent lug­gage or box­es in that in-room space. 

  The pho­to­graph of a sam­ple room is illus­tra­tive of a typ­i­cal room mea­sur­ing about 150 sq. ft. This pho­to is a sam­ple only and should not be read as a guar­an­tee of room size or furnishings.

Join­ing the Lawyers Club

• How to Apply

  Each Lawyers Club space is assigned to incom­ing stu­dents on the basis of the date we receive your Lawyers Club appli­ca­tion. You may apply as soon as you are offered admis­sion; you do not have to wait until the sub­mis­sion of your enroll­ment deposit. The time­ly sub­mis­sion of an appli­ca­tion will increase the like­li­hood of receiv­ing a con­tract and your pre­ferred room type. All spaces in the Lawyers Club pro­vide a sin­gle, pri­vate room. Your choice of a pri­vate or semi-pri­­vate bath­room will slight­ly impact the con­tract fee. The entire­ty of the Lawyers Club is smoke-free, as is the Uni­ver­si­ty of Michi­gan campus.

  Stu­dents requir­ing spe­cif­ic accom­mo­da­tions for mobil­i­ty lim­i­ta­tion or oth­er health needs are asked to note these requests on the appli­ca­tion in advance. Please con­tact the Lawyers Club Staff so that we have the oppor­tu­ni­ty to meet your spe­cif­ic needs. Din­ing is a required part of the Lawyers Club con­tract. The annu­al con­tract fee includes 12 meals per week, with lunch and din­ner served Sun­day through Fri­day. The Club offers a diverse menu selec­tion which includes many veg­e­tar­i­an entrees. Indi­vid­u­als requir­ing spe­cial diets such as gluten-free, dairy-free, or those with spe­cif­ic food aller­gies should con­sult with our culi­nary staff before sign­ing a contract.

  Apply­ing to the Lawyers Club requires no dis­tinct deposit. Appli­ca­tions may be sub­mit­ted at the point of accep­tance to Michi­gan Law, but con­tracts will be sent only after stu­dents have matriculated.

  This appli­ca­tion is not a con­tract, nor does it guar­an­tee you a space in the Lawyers Club. As the Lawyers Club fills quick­ly, new­ly admit­ted stu­dents are encour­aged to sub­mit an appli­ca­tion as soon as they receive an offer of admis­sion, even before mak­ing a seat deposit. Hous­ing assign­ments are made on a first-received, first-assigned basis and will be sent to umich​.edu email address­es from Michi­gan Hous­ing. Please cre­ate your account and mon­i­tor its activity.

  For infor­ma­tion on avail­abil­i­ty of 2022 – 2023 spaces, please email us or call the admin­is­tra­tive offices at 734.764.1116

• Fees

  Con­tracts are writ­ten for the entire aca­d­e­m­ic year and include fur­nished room, 12 meals per week, util­i­ties, and wire­less connectivity

  Rates for 2022 – 2023

  The Lawyers Club res­i­dent hall fees are sub­ject to change pend­ing U‑M Regen­tal approval.

  The Lawyers Club con­tract cov­ers the law school’s aca­d­e­m­ic cal­en­dar and does not oblig­ate you for the sum­mer months. This removes the finan­cial bur­den of a 12-month con­tract and the need to find a sum­mer sub­let. Your year­ly hous­ing costs are fixed; no unknowns for the budget.

  *Save about $125 per month by select­ing a SIN­GLE room with SEMI-PRI­VATE bath. You’ll share with only one oth­er stu­dent. There are 34 spaces of this room type.
