Tier 1 Law Professor Paul Campos Defends TMCLSS and Calls Cooley out for its Frivolous Lawsuit as a SLAPP

01/25/2012

In addition to the numerous constitutional lawyers, electronic freedom fighters, consumer advocacy and human rights groups, and media organizations that have condemned Thomas M. Cooley's lawsuits against bloggers and internet commentators and stood up in support of this very blog now comes a law professor (from a REAL law school) calling out Cooley for its unethical abuse of the same legal system it hypocritically attempts to "teach" to its students along with knowledge, skills, and ethics (LULZ). In response to a commentator who references this blog and points out the absurdity and baseless nature of Cooley's "lawsuit", ironically pointing that Cooley will likely be responsible for creating Michigan law on anonymity (on the wrong end of the law, of course), the most honest law professor in the industry, Paul Campos of Inside the Law School Scam, responds by branding Cooley's claims as a SLAPP. The word SLAPP and Cooley are becoming synonymous, it seems.

I graduated from Cooley Law School. Cooley Law was terrible - the administration was especially useless, (Yeah, you Cynthia Ward and Amy Timmer - i.e. Lucifer reincarnate) and looked for reasons to make your life miserable, had no sense of fairness, common sense, or any reasonable basis or rationale for half of their idiotic decisions.

Would I recommend Cooley to anyone? Hell No. If you have choices, go somewhere else. It was like a terrible year round boot camp which felt like it would never end. Every semester was another prayer answered if you weren't failed out on an arbitrary grade.

With all of that said, Cooley truly will prepare you for the bar exam and you can make of it what you want, if you get through it. I graduated in approximately the top 25%, passed the bar exam on the first try, and was employed full time before my bar exam results came in. I started at a decent wage significantly above the median reported by Cooley and have earned several salary increases and partnership in my first two years out. I am an aggressive go getter litigator that can turn absolute shit into gold - with an ability to make it rain. If you want it bad enough anyone can succeed while at Cooley and after Cooley. If you don't want it bad, you will fail.

As for the lawsuit against Cooley I hope Cooley takes it in the ass hard. Someone needs to give them a bit of their own medicine. Cooley's defamation lawsuit against the firm suing them is completely ridiculous and a good example of how petty the Cooley high ups really are. Paul Robert Cohen once wore a shirt that said "Fuck the Draft." I'm getting one that says "Fuck Cooley".

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.
