Thomas m. cooley law school Reviews

Doesn t care about its students at auburn hills location! Never closes when ice storms or bad weather comes, glad they are closing. Lansing is a good location

I am a graduate of the Hooker class of 1992. My experience at Cooley Law school was very valuable and rewarding. I am a trial lawyer practicing for more than 25 years. The trail workshop classes, moot court, and the 60+ elder law clinic provided me with real life experience that allowed me to hit the ground running after graduation. I would highly recommend WMU Law.

Thank you Cooley for letting me into law school. Im now a licensed attorney in Texas. I would not have been in this position with Cooley law school.

Though I have not attended this school I believe it is funny that some negative reviews are simply attacks on Michael Cohen. One bad attorney graduates from here and it's a bad school. Here's a news flash, bad attorneys graduate from every law school imagainable, quit being incompetent.

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 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.

Honestly the best educational experience I have ever received. The professors are all wonderful and want to see you succeed. Cooley provides so many programs to help you to become the best attorney you can be.

I've heard horror stories about other schools and the competitve culture they create and foster and I had the exact OPPOSITE experience at Cooley. In fact, before I decided on Cooley, I met with the VP of the corporation I was working at and she was the one who recommended Cooley (even as a grad of another Detroit school). She told me that the corporation picked interns from Cooley because of their GRIT and because Cooley students have the real world experience that other schools don't offer.

Honestly could not have asked for anything more from this school.

I came to know five grads, four who ended up in Virginia and one in New York state. Two ended up in Fortune 500 head offices, one as an Assistant County Prosecutor, one in in a law office of about 4 or 5 lawyers, one in a NY State commission on disabilities. It was very challenging & cost money but they are very pleased.

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!

Don't go here. It's shady. The place operates like a high school. This school is more interested in your money, than creating and shaping good lawyers. It's a waste of time and money. If you want to feel like you are in high school again, then this place is for you. There are a few Professors who have a high school mentality and operate off of their feelings instead of being professional. Do yourself a favor and find somewhere else that is not shady and don't operate like a high school. Anywhere is better than this place. It's called the worst law school for a reason because it sucks. Don't invest your money in this bs. Instead, go to a better institution that operates like a normal law school. REPEAT: NOT A GOOD CHOICE! MOVE ON!
