Oh Deer! Animal Crashes Through Window To Roam Michigan Law School

A deer decided to take an uninvited tour of the Michigan law library.

Law School Library, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MINo longer allowed to join in any reindeer logic games, a despondent deer broke into Michigan’s law library on Friday, jumping through a window and hanging out until staff could let the animal out through another door.

Why the law library? Perhaps to take a little tour to fawn over the extensive collection.

Or maybe checkout a hornbook?

Well, a T14 degree is how you can get the big bucks.

On the other hand, maybe our little buddy here learned that there’s a Crow calling the shots at the Supreme Court and took it as a sign for the animal kingdom.

I want the oral history from the perspective of this 2L innocently strolling into the library to put some work into an outline and turned the corner to see a deer walking around.

This isn’t the first time a woodland critter decided to crash a law library. Back in 2019, a bird got into Harvard’s library and started tweeting literally and figuratively.

Alas, Michigan has shown this deer the door. But don’t worry, buddy. There’s always Cooley.
