I think one factor might be there used to be a separate Detroit College of Law (that merged with MSU and moved to E Lansing years ago). I assume that in the 90s when both schools were operating in Detroit, referring to one as Mercy made things easier.
Also, keep in mind the law school is different than main campus in that a majority of students are from out of state and have little to no knowledge of school history and the U of D days.
I'm personally not against Detroit or Mercy. I'm just embarrassed by the leadership's inability to rebrand effectively.
