A few years ago, Cooley was ranked as the second best law school in the nation according to (Judging the law schools). I wonder how other law schools like the University of Michigan or the IVY Leagues felt about this. Second, Valparaiso, Charlotte, Whittier, and some other law schools received similar "out of compliance" letters from the ABA, but didn't file a lawsuit against them. Cooley filed. Hmmmmm!

I graduated from Cooley in 02- Passed the bar and now a working attorney & business owner. At Cooley its not about who you know its about what you know. They don't weed people out in the admission process, we weed them out at the "wailing wall".

I like being a law student, the professors, the Lansing campus facilities, the earnest study of law. Cooley is fundamentally sound and provides a good value for the cost to attend. The ABA is a useless institution of fat cat lawyers who couldn't craft a contract, litigate a case or properly advise a client if their collective hides depended on it. They're just regulatory bureaucrats albeit self-construed. "Regulation" of law schools is like looking for ethics in journalism --a fictional enterprise. Challenge the self-appointed "regulators"; that's just smart.

Did y'all see how the school is fighting with the ABA over disclosing Cooley's failure to comply with requisite standards? It's ironic that after 30 years of allowing the school to disregard the accreditation standards, that when ABA FINALLY goes to enforce something, Cooley sues to stop the ABA... Stay Away!!

I graduated in '93 and passed the bar with an 80 percent on the first attempt. Impressive for me, since my LSAT was in the range of 55 percentile. The classes are tough, and you need to study hard everyday. It pays off. If you let up on your studies, it will cost you. My goal was to open a private firm. I accomplished that, after a prominent internship and entry level trial attorney job. I then hung my shingle, and 20 years later, I can say, I never felt let down by the Cooley LS education I earned. Ignore the naysayers, whiners. Set challenging career goals. If you put your heart and mind into your studies, the effort pays off - Cooley Law School delivers! Go for it!

Great place. I am glad I attended this law school.

Do NOT go to this school. You will be required to take a 0 credit hour course your first semester at this school. This will bring your course load up to 6 classes to qualify as a full time student and stay on track to graduate in three years. This was a complete waste of time and I would have gone to a different school had I known that this class was required. As a first term student, time is a luxury that most of us don't have. This 0 credit hour course takes 39 hours out of your first term. I suggest going to ANY OTHER school that doesn't require this class.

Very shady practices at this school. They are all about the profit. I hate a student threaten me and they did nothing about it. Horrible school.
