Can anyone here point me to a place where I can go take a look at the Michigan Territory laws, preferably in lower Wisconsin?

HI Greg,
Specifically which area of law are you concerned with - civil, criminal, tort, contracts, administrative law?
I don't believe Michigan Territorial law would differ in the western region.

Greg,
We do have a copy of the 1839 Territorial Laws in the collections of the SCHS archives. You are most welcome to look at it. If you have some specific items of interest I can do a search and make what photocopies you might need.
I would also bet that any U.W. University library ought to have copies available.

I would just like to get as much info as I can about the laws in effect in the territory in 1827-1832. I am not really after anything specific, but rather just after anything in general.

Greg,
You wrote -

I posed your thoughts to a friend in New York - a University of Michigan Law School grad, and he suggests that you -
"...check with the University of Michigan Law Library ( or librarian). They may have a website he could use. The other possibility would be to contact the Michigan Bar Association."
Hope this helps.
Cliff
