 Bill Schuette Bio
Bill Schuette is the 53rd Attorney General for the State of Michigan.

William Schuette
From the beginning, Bill Schuette has been a powerful Voice for Victims. He formed the Michigan Commission on Human Trafficking and engineered the plan to fund the testing of thousands of long-abandoned DNA evidence boxes to provide justice to victims of sexual assault.

As a Voice for the Constitution, Schuette successfully defended Michigan's Constitution before the United States Supreme Court, protecting equal treatment in admissions to our state’s public universities. He also defended the pensions of Michigan’s police and firefighters during Detroit’s historic bankruptcy.


Bill Schuette is leading a multi-state effort to protect the Great Lakes from invasive species, including Asian Carp. He is also the co-chair of a state task force examining underwater pipelines.

Bill has served as a United States Congressman, Director of the Michigan Department of Agriculture, Michigan State Senator and as a Judge of the Michigan Court of Appeals. Bill Schuette is the only Attorney General in Michigan history to have served in the executive, legislative and judicial branches of state government.

From his father, mother and stepfather, Bill learned the basic Michigan values of honesty, hard work, the importance of your word, strength of family and the need to give back to your community.

Bill is a graduate of Georgetown University's School of Foreign Service and studied at the University of Aberdeen, in Aberdeen, Scotland.  He received his law degree from the University of San Francisco School of Law. 
Bill serves as Vice President of the Rollin M. Gerstacker Foundation and is also a trustee of the Elsa U. Pardee Foundation, the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Foundation and the Albion College Board of Trustees.
