Lmichigan 15 Report post Posted June 11, 2009 I guess there is a need for low-cost law education in the city. At first I was surprised, but then remembered that Cooley isn't competing (because it can't) with Michigan Law, rather adding a service for those priced out of Michigan Law: Cooley Law School to open new Ann Arbor campus By ROBIN ERB Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mgman 0 Report post Posted June 17, 2009 "Low cost"? Tuition at Cooley is about $28500, exclusive of books and other fees. Tuition at Michigan Law is $41500 for Michigan residents. On the other hand, graduates of the latter have a very good shot at finding a job when the graduate. Cooley grads have an uphill struggle, especially in this economy. It is not a matter of being "priced out" of Michigan Law, since anyone who can get into Michigan Law and has a financial issue will be able to get grants or loans sufficient to make up any difference between tuition at Cooley and tuition at Michigan. Speaking as a lawyer, there are too many law schools out there promising bright futures to folks who (a) shouldn't be lawyers in the first place or (b) will not have a chance ever to build a financially rewarding practice. I am afraid that I put Cooley into that category, though I am sure that there are successful Cooley grads throughout the state. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lmichigan 15 Report post Posted June 18, 2009 How about "lower cost", then? Jeeze. I was being respectful of UofM's prestige and trying to subtly highlights Cooley's rather poor reputation. I appreciate the opinion about where Cooley can find its niche, but I could have done without the unnecessary condescension. It's why I don't bother posting much, anymore. I'll stick to my own subforum from now on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
