Law Professor political contributions from Michigan

Law Professor receipts with Michigan addresses

Occupation LAW PROFESSOR and donor state MI produce $360,589, 741 contributions, and 28 donors. The occupation hub is $7,994,222, 27,538 contributions, and 934 donors. Michigan’s dollar share is about 4.5%; contribution share about 2.7% (741 of 27,538); donor share about 3.0% (28 of 934). This page is the intersection of those two FEC.gov fields, not a restatement of the Law Professor hub and not a restatement of all Michigan occupations.

PROFESSOR, ATTORNEY, and LAWYER, if used, sit in other hubs. Do not stack LAW PROFESSOR with those strings into a single Michigan professional total. Those are other occupation strings with other hubs. The FEC file stores the occupation exactly as entered. A longer or shorter variant is a different key.

The arithmetic mean gift in this Michigan cell is about $487 ($360,589 divided by 741 lines), against about $290 nationwide ($7,994,222 divided by 27,538). 28 Michigan donors produced 741 contributions, about 26.5 itemized rows per donor, versus about 29.5 nationally. A mean is not a median and not a typical check. Skew from a few large itemized gifts can move $487 without changing the unique-donor count of 28.

LAW PROFESSOR is not PROFESSOR and not ATTORNEY

LAW PROFESSOR is a filer-entered string. The FEC file does not verify a license, an employer, or a payroll title. The $7,994,222 national total is LAW PROFESSOR only. 934 donors produced 27,538 contributions in that occupation bucket. LAW PROFESSOR is a legal-academia title, not an AALS faculty directory or law-school payroll. Nearby labels PROFESSOR, ATTORNEY, and LAWYER remain outside this occupation total even when one person has used more than one string.

This page does not split those 27,538 rows by cycle, employer, or recipient. It locates how much of the labeled money is also coded to Michigan (MI). 27,538 national contributions make LAW PROFESSOR a published occupation bucket; this tie locates the Michigan overlap. Independent expenditures and unitemized gifts are omitted. Committee identifiers on the itemized line are the recipient keys in the underlying file, but this packet does not publish a recipient breakdown.

Michigan donor state on legal-academia lines

28 Michigan donors produced 741 contributions totaling $360,589. Donor state MI is the address on the record, not proof of a Michigan license, and not a limit to Michigan candidates. MI is the address on the itemized record, not a map of which campaigns received the $360,589. Out-of-state committees can receive itemized gifts from MI-coded donors.

The Michigan campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to MI. This join is only LAW PROFESSOR. The Law Professor occupation hub without Michigan still holds about 95.5% of the $7,994,222 (remainder $7,633,633). Michigan’s state hub includes every other occupation coded to MI. LAW PROFESSOR is only this filter. Federal awards on USAspending.gov are a different ledger; this page does not claim donations funded awards.

Faculty appointment is not verified by the FEC file

A 4.5% dollar share in Michigan does not rank the state as more or less political than others. Occupation labels are filer-entered. Correlation is not causation. This page does not name donors, does not invent committees, and does not treat 28 unique donors as an AALS faculty directory or law-school payroll. LAW PROFESSOR is not interchangeable with PROFESSOR, ATTORNEY, and LAWYER.

Quote $360,589, 741 contributions, and 28 donors for Law Professor in Michigan, against $7,994,222 nationwide, source FEC.gov. Unitemized gifts stay outside the itemized aggregate. Cycle stacking can raise line counts without raising unique people. Public records describe overlap; they do not assign motive. Keep both sides of the join—Law Professor and Michigan—whenever the dollars are quoted.

Michigan Law Professor citation with remainder

A complete claim names Law Professor and Michigan (MI), then $360,589, 741 contributions, 28 donors, and 4.5% of $7,994,222, source FEC.gov. Remainder outside Michigan: $7,633,633. Mean gift $487 is $360,589 divided by 741 lines in this state cell. Repeat the join without adding fields the packet does not publish. The canonical path is a ties URL, not a donor-detail URL.

Subtract the Michigan dollars on this page from the national LAW PROFESSOR occupation total and the difference is the amount still coded LAW PROFESSOR in every other state combined. That remainder ($7,633,633) has no row-by-row breakdown here because those states are other ties. A unique-donor count of 28 is not a person-level audit. The FEC aggregate can merge similar names or split one person who filed under variants. Keeping dollars, contribution count, and donor count on the same page is the point of the join.

Academic and legal occupation hubs plus Michigan

Law Professor donations holds the $7,994,222 national occupation total. Michigan campaign finance holds the state’s itemized individual activity across occupations. All occupations and All FEC ties collect other occupation-state pairs from the same two fields. Original filings remain at FEC.gov. Occupation labels are filer-entered. This tie page quotes packet facts only.
