Here is another piece that picked up on Cooley's frivolous SLAPPs (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SLAPP) against internet bloggers that slipped through my radar a few months back. Link is below the excerpts.
"Thomas M. Cooley Law School, a bit like the hunt for the alleged strawberry miscreant in "Caine Mutiny," is relentlessly pursuing once-anonymous blogger [Rockstar05] who had been critical of it. This seems incongruous for an institution of professional learning."
"But, in terms of the law school, the stakes are sky-high for the credibility and marketability of it as a law school. This pursuit of the alleged miscreant can turn him into a digital folk hero. The school would come across, at best, as thin-skinned. At worst, it could be perceived as engaging in a complex scheme to conceal accurate information about its admissions policies, job placement record, and the compensation its JDs receive."
