Honestly, I think that Middlebury’s reputation would be equally advantageous here. The most important thing for law school acceptance is academic record (grades and LSATs), but insofar as undergrad school reputation helps, I think there would be no appreciable difference between Michigan and Middlebury. Also, aside from formal alumni networks, there is a sort of informal network of grads of elite LACs that tends to function in the same way, providing professional connections and networking.
