Comment Re:I'm a Cooley student and I'm indifferent. (Score 1) 123

As a Cooley alumnus who just took the bar, I will step out of the cloud of anonymity and give a hearty "this" to the above comment.

Now, it's no secret that Cooley's reputation amongst the legal profession at large may not be the rosiest. I myself am cognizant of this fact as I prepare to get a job out there. However, I'm not certain that the litigious nature of this administration (or at least in this particular case) should reflect badly on the institution as a whole.

Simply having a low ranking by US News and World Report doesn't give any real indication of how the alumni are as actual practicing attorneys. Just going to Harvard doesn't mean you're going to be a star in the courtroom. Cooley's curriculum places a heavy emphasis on the practical, rather than the theoretical nature, of the law. All professors have practiced in the past, and often tell war stories relevant to the subject being taught.

tl;dr Don't knock the students because the administration is acting irresponsibly.
