The dean of Thomas M. Cooley Law School says he’s pleased U.S. District Court Judge Gordon Quist has dismissed a class action lawsuit against the school.
The suit was filed late last year by Cooley graduates who alleged they were misled by Cooley’s post-graduate employment reports.
The 12 former Cooley students alleged that Cooley’s post-graduate employment reports led them to believe they would have an easier time finding legal employment after graduation than they did.
In his recent dismissal of the suit, Quist said the students failed to establish any legal grounds supporting their claim that Cooley’s post-graduate employment reports were fraudulent or misleading.
The judge noted that for purposes of deciding the motion he was required to assume that all of plaintiffs’ allegations in the complaint — many of which he noted in his opinion — were true. But the court’s ruling makes no finding that those allegations were in fact true.
“We’re obviously pleased with this decision,” said Don LeDuc, Cooley’s president and dean. “We are committed to graduating law students who are ready to practice law, and their success in a tough job market is our success too.”
LeDuc said the school has always been in compliance with American Bar Association and National Association for Law Placement employment reporting standards.
