re: Let’s talk Thomas Cooley Law School in Michigan

Yeah it’s a scam. 2 law schools (Whittier and Valpo) are closing and Cooley could be next. There are too many law schools. The law needs to be a tough profession to get into. My brother graduated from U of Illinois Law and now works in a cushy job in Chicago. No way would Cooley given him that opportunity.

Southern Law School you’re off the hook tonight, narrowly.

Thomas Cooley is a law school where the primary application requirement is a pulse. The 25th percentile LSAT score is 138. Converted to a raw score that is typically 37 correct out of 101. More than a quarter of their student body has scored less than 40% on a test that is supposed to measure the critical thinking skills needed for a lawyer.

Is this concerning to anyone else? People are receiving law degrees with LSAT scores that show marginal literacy.

Looks like someone just finished reading the Rooster Bar

I’m not a lawyer but it’s the only law school in Rhode Island so I’m sure it’s okay

Are you at Bama or LSU?

Nothing new. Cooley was the same when I was in law school two decades ago.

Cooley has always had a reputation similar to ITT or University of Phoenix. Diploma mill. Excellent way to weed out whether or not someone has the bare minimum of good judgment. People who choose that school do not.

Don't know much about the school but one of the best attorneys practicing mental health and succession law in BR went there. He is a solo but I'd put him up against the 'big law' BR guys any day.

I'm at LSU

Southern is a place where you get out of it what you put in. Their bar passage rate is worst in the state. However, there are some really good attorneys that come out of there, especially from the night program.

Or they're in the night program.
