The People’s Law School welcomed mid-Michigan community members back for an engaging and informative legal education experience. Hosted annually by Sinas Dramis Law Firm last fall in partnership with the Ingham County Bar Association, People’s Law School is open to everyone.
From October 14 through November 18, participants attended six weekly 90-minute sessions led by attorneys and judges from across Michigan’s court system, including the Michigan Supreme Court and district, circuit, appellate, and probate courts.
Designed specifically for non-attorneys, the program focuses on practical legal topics, including:
• An overview of the Michigan court system and how cases move through the courts
• Personal injury law, including rights after car accidents and serious injuries
• Family law, covering divorce, custody, and related matters
• Landlord-tenant law, outlining rights and responsibilities for renters and property owners
• Criminal law basics, including charges, court procedures, and constitutional protections
• Probate law, addressing estates, wills, and guardianships
People’s Law School will return in Fall 2026. Watch for updates on the Sinas Dramis website and social media channels. To be added to the People’s Law School distribution list, email sinasdramis@gmail.com with PLS in the subject line.
