The Examiner Picks Up on the Most Unethical and Hypocritical "Law School" in the United States Named Thomas Cooley

01/21/2012

Here is a fine piece linked below exposing Cooley for its shameless abuse of the legal system and blatant disregard of the First Amendment it hypocritically purports to "teach" its students as a law school. Perhaps that is why Cooley students are some of the worst in the country at passing the bar and fare even worse in terms of finding employment. Adding insult to injury is the measly $49,000 per year a Cooley Law grad can command in private practice as the most lucrative job market after dumping $165,000+ on a toilet Cooley degree for those who do manage to find employment. Check out the link below.

"What can we say about a law school, whose purpose is to train future lawyers, that doesn't believe in the fundamental right of freedom of speech under the First Amendment?

Such is the case with the Thomas M. Cooley Law School, which is suing a blogger critical of it under a frivolous claim of defamation, which can best be described as a Strategic Lawsuit Against Public Participation (SLAPP) suit intended to intimidate free speech."

How long before this FOURTH TIER law school sues reporter Dave Hornstein, and the Detroit National Politics Examiner?!

He seems to understand that ABA-approved law schools continue to produce FAR TOO MANY graduates, for the available number of attorney and law-related positions:

"As it is, there is a glut of lawyers, with only 27,500 jobs for 44,000 graduates in 2009, for example, and law schools rake in millions of dollars in federal guaranteed student loans. Cooley, with a main campus in Lansing and satellite campuses in Auburn Hills, Ann Arbor, Grand Rapids and Riverview, FL, is the country's largest law school, with 3,129 part-time and 535 full-time students."

Nando called it. Imagine if the federal loan spigot were finally turned off!

A Cooley degree sounds like a real "steal" at $52,476 a year, no?? Would you attend this RANK NOT PUBLISHED "law school" with one of the WORST REPUTATIONS in the country and pending allegations of FRAUD, NEGLIGENT MISREPRESENTATION, AND DECEPTIVE BUSINESS PRACTICES in a CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT for $250,000,000 (that's right- TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTY MILLION DOLLARS) for three long hard years and spend over $156,000 (not including debt from undergraduate studies) for some of the worst chances at passing the bar (161 out of 193 law schools) or obtaining employment (181 out of 193 law schools) in America as Cooley itself reports (See Page 395/424) and a shot at an absolutely pathetic starting median salary (not even the average!) of between $46,000-$49,000 a year?? Those atrocious numbers are for those who are actually employed! On last check, this 2nd best school in the nation (only in their own make-believe rankings) had an EARTH-SHATTERING 3 employers on campus for interviews combined total from its FOUR CAMPUSES (soon to be 5) to recruit from its 4000+ student body and had a 1L attrition rate of 26% ?!?!?!?! A simple google search will reveal that noone has anything good to say about the school besides the school itself, its PR trolls, and its students who feel obligated to defend this wretched institution after investing hundreds of thousands of dollars and having their entire future and careers dependent on the Cooley brand. This one is a no-brainer folks, if you are thinking of attending the Thomas M. Cooley Law School I would suggest you invest your time, effort, and money in more fulfilling, rewarding, and financially prudent endeavors. I have provided links to a lot of information, I urge you to make an informed decision before you decide to attend this school.

I am Rockstar05, a former student of the Thomas M. Cooley Law School Scam who was smart and fortunate enough to GET OUT to a better law school. I am here to bring truth and awareness to the students getting suckered in by this unethical, hypocritical, corporatized, and despicable excuse for a law school.
