Unsuprisingly, Cooley has now repurposed all this pending litigation, whether as plantiff or defendant, by labeling it ‘hands-on real world experience,’ and incorporating it into their self-devised ratings system (weighted equally along with other factors such as LSAT, Bar passage, GSA, etc., natch), thereby improving their standing as the world’s only US News tier 4 school the ranks above Harvard.

Careful what you say here . . . they might sue you too. And yes, the self-proclaimed “We’re #2” law school announced yesterday that they will be opening a new campus in Tampa, Florida, and expect to produce 700 law grads a year when in full operation. But today’s news was better . . . Cooley and NYLS have been sued for, among other things, consumer fraud.

What irks me is how a distinguished jurist of the Michigan Supreme Court became the namesake of a bottom tier law school. The fact that they are actually spending money to learn the identity of those that criticize them lowers Thomas M. Cooley Law School another rung from their already poor reputation in my book.
