Top Law Schools

looks like it's curtains for cooley

But what if I kill it at Cooley and end up top 1%?

Fuck this garbage dump that preys on the dumb.

Cooley's new slogan: "So selective that no one gets in"

Hopefully they don't scale back the size of their library in these cost-cutting measures. That could really hurt them in the rankings.

Unless "cutting and entire class of students, and laying off faculty and staff" suddenly becomes criteria for the rankings.

It's not curtains, guys. Ann Arbor is a much smaller branch campus than the main one at Lansing, which is located about an hour away. They will just admit more people in Lansing.

The drop in first year class size from 1500 to 500 is much more interesting.

This seems logical since so many law schools are struggling to fill their classes and have been forced to lower their admission standards. This creates a domino effect until you get to the very bottom where you can't just absorb students from lower-ranked schools anymore.

So when can we expect to see GULC close its doors?

I'm intrigued to know more about the incoming numbers at Indiana Tech, simply a vehicle for enriching boomer deans and faculty with federally underwritten money.

As someone with a strong interest in Hip-Hop law, I personally considered ITTTT for this reason. I think that in order for less reputable schools to survive the law school crisis they need to differentiate themselves on factors like creatively unique course offerings or extraordinarily large libraries.

Luckily for these unfortunate individuals who can no longer attend the second best law school in the US, I've heard that Cooley-Ann Arbor has teamed up with that other school in Ann Arbor to let them attend there. According to the arrangement, UM will only charge these individuals $10,000/year, and they will get a hands-on, experiental learning experience...cleaning floors. This strategic and first-of-its-kind move will not only save these students over $100,000 in student loan debt, but it will actually provide them with marketable, in-demand skills that they would not have obtained otherwise.
