I can't wait to begin my journey here at Cooley, I've heard that the entrance requirements are lower than average and that is what to expect upon graduation. I'm so honored to even be considered to go to school here it will be my pleasure one day to use an Ivy League graduate as a stepping stone in a court room as to what can happen as long as you are devoted, and in my case, I put God first in everything. I look forward to the opportunity to display what Cooley can teach me. God willing I get accepted.

I recently completed my first year of study here, and overall, I'm very pleased. Some general info about the school: Part of the school’s mission is to provide “broad access to those who seek the opportunity to study the law, while requiring that those to whom that opportunity is offered meet WMU-Cooley's rigorous academic standards.” Toward the end of fulfilling the first half of its mission, Cooley has a relatively liberal admissions policy, offers evening and weekend classes, and allows students to attend part-time while working. Also, to be candid, practically this means Cooley will accept and accommodate students that many other law schools would not. Nevertheless, the school also lives up to the second half of its mission: Professors expect students to develop a familiarity with subject matter and proficiency in analysis comparable to that of competent members of the Bar with a reasonable amount of exposure in the field. Cooley’s academic standards are truly rigorous, but the school provides students with all of the tools they need to achieve excellence. Professors are willing to meet with students outside of class time, and there is an office called the “academic resource center” (ARC) that also helps students with skills development as they begin and throughout their studies. Cooley’s Tampa branch is fairly new, so the facilities are modern, and the classroom and courtroom technology is state of the art. Parking is never an issue, and the library has plenty of space, including a number of group study rooms. Some students dislike that the school requires first-year students participate in a couple not-for-credit courses. I personally didn’t mind as I found they made the transition into law school easier and helped me start planning my legal career.
Cooley Law School has given me an opportunity to attend law school while working full-time (40 hours a week). The only other law school in the immediate area is Stetson Law. While I don't have anything negative to say about Stetson, Cooley Law School accommodates my schedule better given it's class offerings in the evening and some classes on the weekend. I am just completing my first year of law school at Cooley and my experience with professors, advisors and other classmates has been nothing short of positive and productive. Although the admissions process is not as selective as other Law Schools, the course work is rigorous and challenging. The professors have real world experience as former judges, prosecutors, partners and general counsels for private and public corporations both domestically and internationally. Cooley does a great job in positioning students for internships in the public, private and corporate domain. As with any school, whether it's law school or undergrad, the student needs to take advantage of every opportunity being offered. Cooley provides the tools and opportunities necessary for every student to succeed. The student body is very diverse and active with networking opportunities, student competitions, social events and class review sessions. Overall, Cooley is an excellent opportunity for everyone including working professionals like myself to attend law school, where other schools would not have the same flexibility.
Don't go here. It's shady. The place operates like a high school. This school is more interested in your money, than creating and shaping good lawyers. It's a waste of time and money. If you want to feel like you are in high school again, then this place is for you. There are a few Professors who have a high school mentality and operate off of their feelings instead of being professional. Do yourself a favor and find somewhere else that is not shady and don't operate like a high school. Anywhere is better than this place. It's called the worst law school for a reason because it sucks. Don't invest your money in this bs. Instead, go to a better institution that operates like a normal law school. REPEAT: NOT A GOOD CHOICE! MOVE ON!
This school has a great mission to open up the law industry to a more diverse set of people. I've met several current students and was very impressed by them.
