Michigan court rulings' citations are fairly consistent. They all are prefixed with "MCL ". (Not to be confused with "MCR" (Michigan Court Rules) or "MCE" (Michigan Rules of Evidence), which are not laws, but rules established by the court system.)
Here are some of the ways that I can find them used, both in court decisions and in cross-references within the MCL:

- MCL 257.732
- MCL 750.160b
- MCL 324.76101
MCL\s([0-9]{1-3})\.([0-9a-z]{1-5})([a-z]?)
