TECHDIRT SLAMS COOLEY LAW, ITS LAW FIRM MILLER CANFIELD, AND ATTORNEY MICHAEL COAKLEY FOR BEING UNETHICAL 02/15/2012 0 Comments   "Remember the Thomas M. Cooley law school? The school, generally considered a 4th tier bottom of the barrel law school, made some news last month by suing some anonymous critics, who appeared to be unhappy former students blogging about the school. The school has also been sued for apparent misleading employment stats. Of course, somewhat related to all of this is the ridiculously laughable attempt by Thomas Cooley to hide its poor reputation by creating its own ranking system that puts itself as the number 2 law school in the country. " "Anyway, the lawyer representing Cooley, Michael Coakley, who attended the (according to Cooley itself) far inferior law school of the University of Michigan, apparently decided to take some questionable steps in identifying one of the bloggers...."

Author _A Cooley degree sounds like a real "steal" at $56,376 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 $169,000 (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.
