Positive conclusion about the employability of Cooley grads! Single personal experience as premise! Missing assumption? That his/her experience is representative of all Cooley grads. The numbers, common sense, and elementary logic say it isn’t.

To wit, it’d be really great if a Cooley partisan could reply with something other than a) a personal anecdote with minimal basis in fact and zero corroboration or b) highly skewed, clearly manipulated numbers (e.g., February 2009 bar passage as proxy for historic performance).

Because skin color isn’t a proxy for intelligence/ability. Law school, while admittedly imperfect, does the job much better.

1. (almost) no reasonable person would attend Cooley for the “steep tuition discounts” when they have the option of practically any scholarship at a T1. Given the comparative employment prospects, this is a terrible ROI.
2. “kids that [] partied too much in college”?!? How can this be?!? I thought Cooley was full of the hardest workers who are going to outwork all the T1 grads and hand them their heads on platters!
3. again, 1L year is universally more difficult than 2L, especially in an environment where a) a significant portion of the class is deliberately failed out and b) the students are scrambling all over each in a hypercompetitive feeding frenzy for the precious good jobs/tickets out.

Also, people should let some things “stop [them] from becoming an attorney”: scoring at Cooley-level on the LSAT and failing out are both indications that the dream is not going to become reality.
